Venezuela 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, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was the nation's nineteenth consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics. Though road cyclist Orluis Aular led for much of his race, he had to retire shortly before the end. Venezuelan boxing and fencing under-performed, with 2016 boxing silver medalist Yoel Finol and 2012 fencing gold medalist Rubén Limardo both losing their first matches.
