Spain at the 2020 Summer Olympics

Spain competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020 but postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] Since the nation's official debut in 1920, Spanish athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, with the exception of the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin (from which they withdrew as a boycott due the fact that the Games were to be held on the Nazi Germany) and the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, as a part of the boycott against the Soviet invasion of Hungary. Spain competed in all sports except baseball, rugby sevens, wrestling and surfing.

Taekwondo

Spain entered four athletes into the taekwondo competition at the Games. Rio 2016 Olympian Jesús Tortosa (men's 58 kg), Javier Pérez (men's 68 kg), and Raúl Martínez (men's 80 kg) qualified directly for their respective weight classes by finishing among the top five taekwondo practitioners at the end of the WT Olympic Rankings, although Jesús Tortosa was later replaced by Adrián Vicente following a technical decision of the Spanish Federation of Taekwondo. Meanwhile, 17-year-old Adriana Cerezo scored a semifinal victory in the women's flyweight category (49 kg) to book the remaining spot on the Spanish taekwondo squad at the 2021 European Qualification Tournament in Sofia, Bulgaria.[74]
