It was the nation's seventh consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics in the post-Soviet era with its smallest representation ever. Olympic anti-record, The Ukrainian Week (15 July 2021)
Ukraine racked up 19 medals in Tokyo, a significant improvement over its 2016 output of 11 medals, which was the lowest to date. However, the country managed to clinch only a single gold, its worst result in history by that parameter.
