New Zealand competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the 2020 Games were postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] It was the country's twenty-fourth appearance as an independent nation at the Summer Olympics, having made its debut at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp and competed at every Games since. The New Zealand team consisted of 212 athletes, 112 men and 100 women, across twenty-one sports.

The New Zealand team collected a total of 20 medals, seven gold, six silver and seven bronze, at these Games, surpassing the record of 18 gained at the 2016 Summer Olympics. The seven gold medals collected was second only to the eight medals collected at the 1984 Summer Olympics. Rowing led the sports with five medals, followed by canoeing with three medals, two medals in each of rugby sevens, cycling and athletics, and one medal in each of sailing, golf, boxing, trampolining, tennis and triathlon. It was the first time New Zealand won medals in trampolining (and gymnastics in general) and tennis.

Sprint canoeist Lisa Carrington won gold medals in the women's K-1 200 metres, K-1 500 metres and with Caitlin Regal in the K-2 500 metres to become New Zealand's most successful Olympian with six medals in all, including five gold medals. Rower Emma Twigg claimed the gold medal in the women's single sculls after finishing fourth in the previous two Games.[5] The men's rowing eight claimed the gold medal for the first time since 1972, with Hamish Bond becoming the first New Zealander to win a gold medal at three successive Olympics. Rowing pair Kerri Gowler and Grace Prendergast won the gold medal in the women's pair before helping the women's eight win the silver medal. The women's rugby sevens team beat France 26–12 in the final to claim the gold medal, bettering their silver medal at the 2016 Games.

New Zealand fielded a squad of three equestrian riders each in the team eventing and jumping competitions through the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games in Tryon, North Carolina, United States and the International Equestrian Federation (FEI)-designated Olympic jumping qualifier for Group G (South East Asia and Oceania) in Valkenswaard, Netherlands.[27][28] MeanwhIle, one dressage rider was added to the New Zealand roster by finishing in the top two, outside the group selection, of the individual FEI Olympic Rankings for Group G (South East Asia and Oceania).[29]

The New Zealand jumping team was named on 22 June 2021. The team consists of three Olympic veterans, while the California-based Uma O'Neill and Clockwise of Greenhill Z have been named the travelling reserves.[32]

Sharn Wordley later withdrew following an injury to his horse. Subsequently, Uma O'Neill got promoted to the team, while Tom Tarver-Priebe and Popeye were assigned the reserve spot.[33] The day before the team competition, a further change was made with Tarver-Priebe (Popeye) replacing O'Neill (Clockwise Of Greenhill Z).[34]

## Sports that declined qualification allocations

[edit]

### Archery

[edit]

Main articles: Archery at the 2020 Summer Olympics and Archery at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Qualification

New Zealand had last competed in archery at the 2004 Athens Olympics. The country qualified one male and one female archer at the 2019 Pacific Games in Apia, Samoa, through Olivia Hodgson and Adam Kaluzny beating their Australian competitors.[82] To gain nomination at the Olympics, athletes need to be put forward by Archery New Zealand (ANZ) to the New Zealand Olympic Committee, but the organisation argued that no New Zealand archers had met their criteria. Two female archers, Hodgson and Olivia Sloan, separately appealed to the Sports Tribunal to have ANZ's decision overturned. The tribunal, made up by chair Bruce Robertson, Robbie Hart and Pippa Hayward, upheld ANZ's decision in June 2021.[83]

### Artistic swimming

[edit]

Main articles: Artistic swimming at the 2020 Summer Olympics and Artistic swimming at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Qualification

New Zealand qualified for a squad of two artistic swimmers to compete in the women's duet event, by securing an outright berth as the next highest-ranked pair, not yet qualified, for Oceania at the 2019 FINA World Championships in Gwangju, South Korea, marking the country's recurrence to the sport for the first time since Beijing 2008.[84] Artistic Swimming NZ subsequently declined to take up the spot, and its place will be reassigned to another country by FINA (the International Swimming Federation).[85]

### Badminton

[edit]

Main articles: Badminton at the 2020 Summer Olympics and Badminton at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Qualification

Oceania qualified for one player in the Olympics and the seat was allocated to New Zealand. Indian-born Abhinav Manota was New Zealand's choice for the men's singles as the country's top-ranked badminton player.[86] When the New Zealand Olympic Committee declined the position, the Oceania qualification could not be reassigned within the region, but the seat was instead allocated to the highest-ranked player who had not qualified yet: the Hungarian Gergely Krausz.[87]

### Modern pentathlon

[edit]

Main articles: Modern pentathlon at the 2020 Summer Olympics and Modern pentathlon at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Qualification

New Zealand qualified one modern pentathlete for the women's event, signifying the country's return to the sport after four decades. Rebecca Jamieson secured her selection as Oceania's top-ranked modern pentathlete at the 2019 Asia & Oceania Championships in Kunming, China.[88] Marina Carrier of Australia came in second and thus did not qualify.[89]

In February 2020, New Zealand declined its quota spot. This retrospectively qualified Carrier for the Olympics instead.[90]
