Olympic Medals by Sport

The Tokyo Olympics in 2020 was South Africa’s worst performance at the Games since the dawn of democracy, with only 3 medals to show for it. It was also the greatest indication that we have not done enough over the years to foster sports at grassroots level. Our most successful year was at the 2016 Summer Olympics Games in Rio de Janeiro when Team SA scooped 10 Olympic medals, followed by the 2004 Games in Athens and the 2012 Games in London with 6 medals each.
