The United States, represented by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place in the summer of 2020, the Games were postponed to July 23 to August 8, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[1] U.S. athletes have appeared in every Summer Olympics of the modern era, with the exception of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, which the U.S. boycotted in protest of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The opening ceremony flag-bearers for the United States were baseball player Eddy Alvarez and basketball player Sue Bird.^[2] Javelin thrower Kara Winger was the flag-bearer for the closing ceremony.^[3]

The country finished the Games with 113 medals, the most amongst all nations: 39 gold, 41 silver, and 33 bronze. These individual totals were each the highest of the Games, after a final-day tally of 3 gold medals (women's basketball, women's omnium, and women's volleyball) closely surpassed China's total of 38 golds.^[4] Overall, the medal total was slightly lower than five years prior in Rio de Janeiro, where the United States won 46 gold and 121 total medals.

As Los Angeles will be the host city of the 2028 Summer Olympics, the United States, along with France, who is hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, marched in the opening ceremony just before the host nation Japan.

Archery[]

One U.S. archer qualified for the men's individual recurve by reaching the quarterfinal stage and obtaining one of the four available spots at the 2019 World Archery Championships in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands.^[5] Another U.S. archer secured a spot in the women's individual recurve by winning the mixed team title at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru.^[6] The athletes were selected after the Olympic Trials.^[7]

Four more U.S. archers were named to the roster for Tokyo 2020 after successfully winning their places in the men's and women's team recurve at the 2021 Final Qualification Tournament in Paris, France.^[8]

The archery team, which included 2019 world champion Brady Ellison, failed to win any medals. Ellison said that this "wasn't a reality" for the team before the games.^[9]

Athletics (track and field)[]

U.S. athletes further achieved the entry standards, either by qualifying time or by world ranking, in the following track and field events (up to a maximum of 3 athletes in each event):^[11][12] The team was selected based on the results of the 2020 United States Olympic Trials (June 18 to 27, 2021) held in Eugene, Oregon.^[13][14]

Six marathon runners (three per gender) were the first set of U.S. track and field athletes selected for the Games by virtue of their top three finish at the Olympic Team Trials in Atlanta, Georgia on February 29, 2020.^[15][16]

Following the completion of the Olympic Trials, 128 athletes (63 men and 65 women) were named to the U.S. track and field team for the Games, with sprinter and multiple medalist Allyson Felix and marathon runner Abdihakem Abdirahman, the oldest US Olympic runner in history (aged 47), competing at their fifth Olympics and another sprinter Erriyon Knighton establishing himself as the youngest (aged 17) in nearly six decades. Apart from Felix and Knighton, the U.S. team also featured three Olympic champions from Rio 2016, namely middle-distance runner Matthew Centrowitz, Jr. (men's 1500 m), hurdler Dalilah Muhammad, and shot put world record holder Ryan Crouser.^[17][18]

2016 Olympic bronze medalist and 2017 and 2019 world champion pole vaulter Sam Kendricks had to withdraw after testing positive for COVID-19.^[19]

The U.S. lost a number of races where it either had world champions (and sometimes world record holders) competing or athletes whose times used to be significantly better prior to the pandemic or the games. Those include 100m specialist Trayvon Bromell, owning the fastest time in 100 meters in 2021,^[20] who was eliminated in the semifinals, 2019 world champion Noah Lyles who finished third in the 200 meters, the 4x400 mixed team that held a world record and got bronze (several strong team members were notably rested and missed the final), 2019 world champion DeAnna Price missed out on a medal in the hammer throw, 2019 world champion and world record holder Grant Holloway won silver in the 100m hurdles,^[21] the 2017 and 2019 world champion U.S. 4x100 men's relay team did not qualify for the finals,^[22] and 2012 and 2016 Olympic silver medalist Will Claye finished off the podium in the men's triple jump.^[23] Furthermore, the fastest American woman in the 100 meters dash Sha'Carri Richardson missed the Olympics due to a positive test for marijuana, two-time pole vault world champion Sam Kendricks was out with COVID-19, 2016 110m hurdles gold medalist Brianna Rollins-McNeal was suspended for missed drug tests, two-time defending gold medalist in decathlon Ashton Eaton retired, while two-time defending gold medalist and 2019 world champion in triple jump Christian Taylor was out with injury.^[24]

Fencing[]

U.S. fencers qualified a full squad each in the men's and women's team foil and women's team épée at the Games, by finishing among the top four nations in the FIE Olympic Team Rankings, while the sabre and men's épée teams claimed the spot each as the highest-ranked nation from the Americas zone outside the world's top four.^[77][78]

On January 11, 2020, Lee Kiefer became the first fencer to guarantee selection to the U.S. team for her third consecutive Games, with a dominant number-one position in the national women's foil rankings.^[79] A month later, Kiefer's husband Gerek Meinhardt, the first U.S. male fencer slated to compete in four Olympics since Michael Marx did so in Atlanta 1996, and his childhood friend and teammate Alexander Massialas, the first U.S. male fencer to win two medals in the same edition, secured the men's foil spots on their third consecutive trip together to the Games.^[80] Rio 2016 Olympian Eli Dershwitz, with two-time champion Mariel Zagunis (2004 and 2008) going to her fifth straight Olympics, topped the national men's and women's sabre rankings, respectively, to join the U.S. fencing roster in Tokyo.^[81] Nine more fencers were officially selected to the roster for the rescheduled Games on March 23, 2021, including épée sisters Courtney and Kelley Hurley and Rio 2016 silver medalist Daryl Homer in the men's sabre.^[82] The men's and women's foil teams completed the fencers' selection for the Games on March 28, 2021.^[83]

In fencing, 2019 world champions U.S. men's foil team won a bronze, also failing to clinch an individual medal, and 2018 world champions U.S. women's foil team failed to land on the podium. 2018 world men's individual sabre silver medalist Eli Dershwitz did not medal as well.^[84] On the other hand, Lee Kiefer scored an upset victory over defending Olympic and world champion Inna Deriglazova of Russia to win the first ever women's foil gold for the United States.^[85]

Gymnastics[]

Artistic[]

The United States fielded a full squad of eight gymnasts (four per gender) into the Olympic competition. The women's squad scored a gold-medal victory in the team all-around to book an automatic berth for Tokyo 2020 at the 2018 World Championships in Doha, Qatar.^[90] Meanwhile, the men's squad was added to the U.S. gymnastics roster after finishing fourth out of the nations eligible for qualification in the preliminaries of the team all-around at the 2019 World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany.^[91][92]

In gymnastics, four-time gold medalist and 19-time world champion Simone Biles aimed to sweep all six women's events (team, individual all-around, and four apparatus finals) for the first time in the sport's history, but health concerns caused her to withdraw from the team event, in which the U.S. ultimately finished second to the Russian Olympic Committee. She subsequently skipped four individual events before returning for the balance beam event, in which she won a bronze medal.^[93]

Rowing[]

The United States qualified the nine boats in the table below out of the fourteen Olympic classes, with the majority of crews confirming Olympic places for their boats at the 2019 FISA World Championships in Ottensheim, Austria. Rowing events are qualified by nation, so rowers must be selected by the NOCs for each of these crews.^{[103][104][105]} The women's lightweight double qualified at the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta on 16 and 17 May in Lucerne.

London 2012 Olympian Kara Kohler became the first rower to guarantee her selection on the U.S. team for the rescheduled Games with an outright triumph in the women's single sculls at the first Olympic Trials in Sarasota, Florida, on February 21 to 26, 2021.^[106] Meanwhile, Genevra Stone, Rio 2016 silver medalist in the single sculls, teamed up with her rookie partner Kristina Wagner to secure the women's double sculls spot at the second Olympic Trials (April 12 to 15, 2021) in West Windsor, New Jersey.^[107] The fours, eights, and women's quad will be selected through camps, with the final nomination made by the Olympic Committee on 18 June.

The Americans finished with zero medals for the first time in history. Three-time defending gold medalists women's coxed eight finished fourth.^[108]

Sailing[]

U.S. sailors qualified one boat in each of the following classes through the 2018 Sailing World Championships, the class-associated Worlds, the 2019 Pan American Games, and the continental regattas.^[114][115] The U.S. Olympic team will be determined based on the sailors' finishing positions, along with the cumulative series scores, from their respective boats at major international regattas in three selection phases: early, middle, and late.^[116]

On February 14, 2020, US Sailing announced the selection for the 49erFX and Nacra 17 crews to represent the country at the Enoshima regatta based on their cumulative results at the 2019 and 2020 World Championships, with windsurfers Pedro Pascual and Farrah Hall and single-handed sailors Charlie Buckingham (Laser) and multiple world medalist Paige Railey (Laser Radial) joining them towards the end of the month.^[117]

With Tokyo 2020 rescheduled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, US Sailing updated the athlete selection procedures for the country's sailing squad, which included the men's 470 Olympic trials based on the results of the first two selection meets.^[118] Hence, Rio 2016 Olympian David Hughes, with his partner and skipper Stuart McNay returning to the Olympic regatta for the fourth straight time, was officially nominated to the U.S. sailing team on June 23, 2020.^[119] Finn sailor Luke Muller joined the roster for his maiden Games on July 10, 2020.^[120] The women's 470 crew (Barnes & Dallman-Weiss) rounded out the squad selection at the 2021 Worlds in Vilamoura, Portugal.^[121]

In sailing, the Americans won only one medal in Rio and proceeded to finish with no medals in Tokyo.

Swimming[]

U.S. swimmers further achieved qualifying standards in the following events (up to a maximum of 2 swimmers in each event at the Olympic Qualifying Time (OQT), and potentially 1 at the Olympic Selection Time (OST)):^[143][144] To assure their selection to the U.S. team, swimmers must finish in the top two of each individual pool event under the Olympic qualifying cut at the 2020 United States Olympic Trials (June 13 to 20, 2021) in Omaha, Nebraska.^[145]

In swimming, Team USA performed worse than in 2016, losing several signature race and with some leaders being out-of-form. Regan Smith was a world record holder in the women's 200 meters backstroke and 2019 world champion, but finished off the podium. Katie Ledecky was defending 200m, 400m, and 800m titles, as well trying to win a newly introduced 1500m race where she held a world record. In the end, she won two gold medals in 800m and 1500m, a silver in 400m, and finished off the podium in 200m. Lilly King was defending her 100m breaststroke gold medal as well as entering as the 2019 world champion in that event, but got only a bronze medal. Ryan Murphy was defending his gold medals in 100m and 200m backstroke (where he also held a world record), but ended up winning a silver and a bronze. Finally, the United States was shut out of medals in the 4x100 mixed medley relay where they won a gold at the World Championships, did not win any women's relays despite being defending Olympic gold medalists and world champions in the 4x200 freestyle relay and 4x100 medley relay. The men were similarly defending their 4x200 freestyle relay titles but shockingly finished fourth. 2019 world silver medalist Haley Anderson finished off the podium in the open water event.^[146]

Tennis[]

United States entered eight tennis players (four men and four women) into the Olympic tournament. Rookies Tommy Paul (world no. 50), Frances Tiafoe (world no. 65), Tennys Sandgren (world no. 68) and Marcos Giron (world no. 75) were selected as four eligible players in the ATP World Rankings of June 14, 2021 after top ranked American players Reilly Opelka, John Isner and Taylor Fritz declined their participation. Four-time gold medalist Serena Williams (world no. 8) and rookie Sofia Kenin (world no. 4) were initially to participate but chose to withdraw from the tournament due to personal reasons. Jennifer Brady (world no. 14), Coco Gauff (world no. 23), Jessica Pegula (world no. 26) and Alison Riske (world no. 31) for the women's singles selected as four into the top 58 eligible players based on their WTA World Rankings of June 14, 2021.^[154][155]

Having been entered into the men's singles, Sandgren and Tiafoe opted to play into men's doubles with their respective partners Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram, while Gauff and Pegula already directly entered into the women's singles, they will be partnering with Nicole Melichar and Bethanie Mattek-Sands, respectively.^[154] However, after Gauff was forced to withdraw Melichar partnered with Alison Riske.

Coco Gauff subsequently tested positive for COVID-19 and had to withdraw from the games. The U.S. could not replace her in the singles due to ITF rules. In the doubles, Melichar partnered with Riske instead of Gauff. They lost in the first round.^[156]

In tennis, the withdrawals of all top-ranked U.S. players, headlined by Serena Williams, Sofia Kenin, and John Isner, coupled with Coco Gauff's withdrawal due to a positive COVID-19 test, left the Americans under-strength. They won no medals in an Olympic tennis tournament for the first time in history.^[157]

Wrestling[]

The United States qualified fifteen wrestlers for each of the following classes into the Olympic competition. Four of them finished among the top six to book Olympic spots in the men's freestyle (74 and 97 kg) and women's freestyle (68 and 76 kg) at the 2019 World Championships, while eleven more licenses were awarded to U.S. wrestlers, who progressed to the top two finals at the 2020 Pan American Qualification Tournament in Ottawa, Canada.^{[201][202][203]}

To assure their selection to the U.S. Olympic team, wrestlers must claim a top spot of each division at the 2020 Olympic Trials (April 2 to 3, 2021) in Dickies Arena, Texas.^[204] Among those selected to the team were reigning Olympic champions Kyle Snyder (men's freestyle 97 kg) and Helen Maroulis (women's freestyle 57 kg), five-time world champion Adeline Gray (women's freestyle 76 kg), Ildar Hafizov (men's Greco-Roman 60 kg), a Beijing 2008 Olympian from Uzbekistan who returned to the Games for the second time as an American citizen; and Kyle Dake (men's freestyle 74 kg), who trounced London 2012 champion Jordan Burroughs at the final match to earn the coveted spot in his Olympic debut.^[205]

In the women's freestyle wrestling, the United States sent its strongest ever team, after three gold medals at the 2019 World Wrestling Championships. Four-time and reigning world champion Adeline Gray lost in the final, getting silver. Another reigning world champion Tamyra Mensah-Stock became the second ever U.S. woman to take gold. The first one, Helen Maroulis, came to Tokyo to defend her gold medal but was narrowly defeated in the semi-final and proceeded to win the bronze medal bout.^[206] Another reigning world champion Jacarra Winchester lost in the quarter-finals, battled through the repechage to the bronze medal match but lost there as well.

In the men's freestyle wrestling, 2018 world champion David Taylor upset the defending Olympic and world champion Hassan Yazdani to win gold. Kyle Dake, after winning the 2018 and 2019 world championships in the 79 kg, was unable to match that success in the Olympic 74 kg, losing in the quarter-final to Mahamedkhabib Kadzimahamedau, and then proceeded to clinch bronze after battling in the repechage. Gable Steveson, meanwhile, scored an incredible upset, defeating the 2017, 2018, and 2019 world champion Geno Petriashvili for the gold medal. Kyle Snyder faced off against Abdulrashid Sadulaev of Russia in the gold medal game and lost a close contest on points. Sadulaev was the defending Olympic champion in the 86 kg who moved up to the 97 kg in 2017 and proceeded to win the 2018 and 2019 World Championships in that weight. Snyder was the defending Olympic champion and 2019 world championship bronze medalist.
