France 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] French athletes have appeared in every Summer Olympic Games of the modern era, alongside Australia, Great Britain, Greece, and Switzerland. As Paris will host the 2024 Summer Olympics, France was the penultimate nation to enter the stadium, alongside the United States which will host the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, before the host country Japan during the parade of nations at the opening ceremony. Additionally, a French segment was performed in Paris and some pre-recorded events at the closing ceremony as performers did not travel to Tokyo due to the travel restrictions related to the pandemic. However, Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo was the only delegation present at the ceremony.

France competed in all sports except baseball (softball), field hockey, and water polo.

France repeated its gold medal tally from the previous games, but its overall medal haul was down from 42 to 33, the lowest since Athens 2004. The country however scored numerous victories in team sports, namely a double in handball (both men and women won gold), gold in men's volleyball, silver in men's basketball and women's rugby sevens, and bronze in women's basketball.

    Equestrian

    See main article: Equestrian at the 2020 Summer Olympics and Equestrian at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Qualification. French equestrians qualified a full squad each in the team eventing and jumping competition, respectively, by virtue of a top-six finish at the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games in Tryon, North Carolina, United States and a top-three finish at the 2019 FEI European Championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands.[28] [29] Meanwhile, a composite squad of three dressage riders was formed and thereby added to the French roster by receiving a spare berth freed up by one of two nations (South Africa and Brazil), unable to fulfill the NOC Certificate of Capability, based on their individual results in the FEI Olympic rankings at the end of 2019 season.

    The French equestrian squads were named on 2 July 2021.[30]

    Dressage

    Isabelle Pinto and Hot Chocolat VD Kwaplas have been named the travelling alternates.[30]

    Fencing

    See main article: Fencing at the 2020 Summer Olympics and Fencing at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Qualification. French fencers qualified a full squad each in the men's and women's team foil, men's team épée, and women's team sabre at the Games, by finishing among the top four nations in the FIE Olympic Team Rankings.[32] [33] [34] London 2012 Olympian Boladé Apithy (men's sabre) and rookie Coraline Vitalis (women's épée) secured additional places on the French team as one of the two highest-ranked fencers vying for individual qualification from Europe in the FIE Adjusted Official Rankings.[35]

    Daniel Jérent initially qualified to fence in the individual and team epee events, but was banned from participating due to a positive urine test for a banned product.[36] [37] [38] [39] Jérent was replaced by Romain Cannone, who went on to win the gold medal in individual epee. Ronan Gustin was recalled to be a team replacement.[38]
