Sporting event delegation

Barbados 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.[1] It was the nation’s thirteenth appearance at the Summer Olympics, having competed at every Games since its debut in 1968 with the exception of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, because of its partial support to the United States-led boycott.
