Russian Olympic Committee athletes at the 2020 Summer Olympics

 Russia was expected to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, now postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] It would have been the country's seventh consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics as an independent nation, but their athletes will be entered by and represent the “Russian Olympic Committee” and use the acronym “ROC” for a country name. All public displays of the organisation’s participant name should use the acronym “ROC”, not “Russian Olympic Committee”.
