At the 2020 Tokyo Games, an impressive four different sports were contested at the Olympics for the first time: karate, surfing, sport climbing, and skateboarding. The only two nations to earn a medal in all four of them were Japan and the United States.
Olympic competitions can be broken up into a few different categories - events, disciplines, and sports. The events are the specific medal competitions, like the women's 100m freestyle swimming race. Disciplines are more general such as track cycling (which was comprised of 12 different events in Tokyo). The highest tier belongs to sports, the general categories such as equestrian, wrestling, and gymnastics.
More than a dozen different nations earned medals in at least one of these sports, but only the host nation and the U.S. were able to find the podium in all four.
