Qatar 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. It was the nation's tenth consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics.
Fares El-Bakh became the first Qatari Olympic gold medallist.
One of the most memorable events in their second gold medal was Mutaz Essa Barshim who, alongside Italian high jump athlete Gianmarco Tamberi, shared the gold medal respectively, with a memorable quote of Mutaz asking the official "Can we have two golds?".
