Australia won a record 18 gold medals at the Paris Olympic Games, and the nation’s overall medal tally of 53 was topped only by the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Meanwhile, Australia ranked fourth on the Paris medal table, matching the Olympic team’s performance in Melbourne in 1956. Australia has also traditionally performed best at home Olympic Games, with Brisbane set to host the world’s biggest sporting event in 2032. An analysis of Summer Olympics results from 1952 to 2012 shows that on average, the host nation has increased their gold medal count by 10 and their overall medal count by 20. The federal government has already increased its Olympic funding ahead of the Brisbane Games.

Australia will send a team of 472 athletes to the Tokyo Olympic Games, including 254 women and a record 16 indigenous athletes. Australia will compete in 33 sports at the coronavirus-delayed Olympics; however, the team’s chef de mission Ian Chesterman says the Australian Olympic Committee has chosen not to issue an official forecasts about the number of medals that the nation will win. The Australian team fell short of medal expectations at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
