Estonia 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, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] It was the nation's eighth consecutive appearance at the Games since 1992 and thirteenth overall in Summer Olympic history.

Estonian government rewards their Olympic gold medalists with a lifetime allowance of 4,600 euros annually with additional support when they approach the retirement age.[4]
