By the time of national team selections for the delayed Tokyo Olympics, Lavery had forced his way into the Australian men's eight, which had qualified for the Olympics on 2019 international performances. [8] In Tokyo the Australian men's eight placed fourth in their heat, fourth in the repechage and sixth in the Olympic A final.
