Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |
Bermuda competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Games had been postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Since the nation's official debut in 1936, Bermudian athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, but did not attend the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow because of the nation's support for the US-led boycott.
The first ever gold medal for Bermuda was won by triathlete Flora Duffy. During her victory ceremony, the national anthem of the United Kingdom, "God Save the King" was played instead of the territorial anthem of Bermuda ("Hail to Bermuda"), as Bermuda is a British overseas territory.
