Trinidad and Tobago competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Games were postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [1] It was the nation's eighteenth appearance at the Summer Olympics, although it previously competed in four other editions as a British colony, and as part of the West Indies Federation.
The 2020 Olympics were somewhat of a disappointment for Trinidad and Tobago, as it was the first Olympics since 1992 that they failed to win any medals.
