'''Athletics at the 2020 Summer Olympics''' were held during the last ten days of the [[2020 Summer Olympics|Games]]. They were due to be held from 31 July – 9 August 2020, at the [[Japan National Stadium|Olympic Stadium]] in [[Tokyo]], Japan.  Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the games were postponed to 2021, with the track and field events set for 30 July – 8 August.<ref name="Postponement">{{Cite news|author1=McCurry, Justin|author2=Ingle, Sean|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/mar/24/tokyo-olympics-to-be-postponed-to-2021-due-to-coronavirus-pandemic|title=Tokyo Olympics postponed to 2021 due to coronavirus pandemic|date=2020-03-24|work=The Guardian|access-date=2020-03-24|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077}}</ref> The [[sport of athletics]] at these Games was split into three distinct sets of events: [[track and field]] events, remaining in Tokyo, and [[road running]] events and [[racewalking]] events, moved to [[Sapporo]]. A total of 48 events were held, one more than in 2016, with the addition of a mixed relay event.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://tokyo2020.org/en/games/sport/olympic/athletics/ |title=Tokyo 2020: Athletics |access-date=20 July 2018 }}</ref>

Road events (marathons and racewalks) took place at [[Odori Park]] in [[Sapporo]], but the [[Japan National Stadium|National Stadium]], which was known as the Olympic Stadium during the games, completely rebuilt and inaugurated on 21 December 2019, was the venue of all the [[track and field]] events.<ref>{{cite news|title=Venue and schedule approved for 2020 Olympic marathon and race walks|url=https://www.worldathletics.org/news/news/2020-olympic-games-marathon-walk-venue-sappor|publisher=[[World Athletics]]|date=4 December 2019|access-date=19 July 2020}}</ref>

Italian company [[Mondo (Italian company)|Mondo]] equipped the stadium with a new track, a Mondotrack WS surface which was given a seal of approval with a [[World Athletics]] "Class 1 certificate" in December 2019. The Mondotrack WS surface in Tokyo's National Stadium is a better and updated version of the track that was provided and installed for the [[2016 Summer Olympics]] in Rio de Janeiro,Brazil.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://european-athletics.com/news/european-athletes-ready-to-shine-on-tokyo-s-mondo-track|title=Europe's top athletes ready to battle for medals on Tokyo's Mondo track|website=european-athletics.com}}</ref>

Due to the risk of a heat wave during the period of the Games, the IOC, Organizing Committee and IAAF decided in October 2019 that the Race Walking and Marathon events would be moved to
[[Sapporo]], which hosted the [[1972 Winter Olympics]].The north island lies 800&nbsp;km from Tokyo. The chosen route started and arrived at the
[[Odori Park]] is the traditional venue of [[Hokkaido Marathon]] until 2012. This decision, taken before [[COVID-19 pandemic]], was made due to fears about high Its route features a large loop which is about the length of a [[half-marathon]] (21,095&nbsp;km), followed by a second smaller loop (10,540&nbsp;km) which was completed twice.<ref>[https://media.aws.iaaf.org/competitioninfo/b1b0cefb-759a-426e-8094-f5dad5762a7e.pdf  Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games Marathon Course]</ref>

==Qualification==
{{main|Athletics at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Qualification}}

The 2020 athletics qualifying system for individual events was fundamentally different from previous versions. Instead of being only based on set qualifying standards, the new qualifying system is also based on [[IAAF World Rankings]]. Qualifying standards provided an alternate pathway, but are to be set high enough that only exceptional performances will meet them. Maximum entries per event were set (unlike previous years where entries were based on how many athletes met the qualifying standard), with the world rankings being used to fill the quota after the standards-based entrants and universality entrants are set.<ref name=ITG>{{cite news|title=Qualification system for Tokyo 2020 Olympics published by IAAF |url=https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1068198/qualification-system-for-tokyo-2020-olympics-published-by-iaaf/ |access-date=2 August 2018}}</ref><ref name=iaaf-qual>{{cite web|url=https://www.worldathletics.org/news/press-release/council-march-2019-olympic-qualification|title=IAAF Council has approved the qualification system and entry standards |publisher=[[World Athletics|IAAF]]|date=10 March 2019|access-date=12 January 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= https://media.aws.iaaf.org/competitioninfo/372a6e80-61d7-4f6f-b35e-f99929e2bd47.pdf|title=Qualification system, amended 2020|publisher=[[World Athletics]]|date=28 May 2020|access-date=2 June 2021}}</ref>

On 2 June 2021, [[Sebastian Coe]], president of [[World Athletics]], declared that "our tracking suggests that about 70 percent of athletes in most events will qualify by entry standard. This is above the 50 percent rate we aimed for in devising the system, but we believe this is due to the extended qualifying period created after the postponement of the Olympic Games from 2020 to 2021."<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.worldathletics.org/competitions/olympic-games/news/qualification-period-marathon-50km-walk-ends|title=Olympic qualification period ends for marathons and 50km race walk|publisher=[[World Athletics]]|date=2 June 2021|access-date=2 June 2021}}</ref>

For relays, the qualification is somewhat similar to previous years. Eight teams will be selected through the results at the [[2019 World Championships in Athletics]], then adding the finalists of [[2021 World Athletics Relays]] if different ones and some more selected through top lists' rankings, up to 16 teams by event.<ref name=ITG/><ref name=iaaf-qual/>

==Record figures==

3 world records and 12 [[List of Olympic records in athletics|Olympic records]] were set. 
28 continental (area) records were set along with 151 national ones.
