Due to sanctions imposed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) following a doping scandal, Russian athletes were not allowed to compete under the Russian flag and anthem at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics (held in 2021). They participated under the banner of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC).

This measure was part of the consequences for state-sponsored doping found in Russia.

The ROC team’s medals were not added to Russia’s official tally, and alternative flags and music were used during medal ceremonies.
