Argentina at the 2020 Summer Olympics

Summary

Argentina 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] Since the nation's official debut in 1900, Argentine athletes have competed in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, except the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, and the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow because of their support for the United States-led boycott.

Golf edit

Argentina entered one golfer into the Olympic tournament. Magdalena Simmermacher (world no. 399) received a spare berth declined by one of the top 60 original official entrants to compete in the women's event, as the next highest-ranked golfer vying for qualification based on the IGF World Rankings.[26] Emiliano Grillo was initially selected to compete in the men's event but chose not to play.[27]

Gymnastics edit

Artistic edit

Argentina entered one artistic gymnast into the Olympic competition. Seventeen-year-old Martina Dominici booked a spot in the women's individual all-around and apparatus events, by finishing seventh out of the twenty gymnasts eligible for qualification at the 2019 World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany.[28][29] On 23 June 2021, Dominici was reportedly tested positive for a banned substance, while deliberately waiting for the results of her appeal to compete at the Olympics; otherwise, her spot would be allocated to Abigail Magistrati, the nation's next highest-ranked gymnast at the 2019 World Championships.[30]

Tennis edit

Argentina entered five tennis players (four men and one woman) into the Olympic tournament. Diego Schwartzman (world no. 11), with rookies Facundo Bagnis (world no. 96), Federico Coria (world no. 103), and Francisco Cerúndolo (world no. 117) joining him on the roster after several top 56 original entrants withdrew from the tournament, qualified directly for the men's singles based on the ATP Entry Rankings of 14 June 2021. Nadia Podoroska secured an outright berth in the women's singles by advancing to the final match at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima.[50][51]

Having already qualified in singles, both Bagnis and Schwartzman opted to play together in the men's doubles, along with veteran Horacio Zeballos and his partner Andrés Molteni.[52]
