locationBeijing, CHN

The 2008 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, were a summer multi-sport event held in Beijing, the capital of the People's Republic of China, from 8 to 24 August 2008. Approximately 10,942 athletes from 204 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated in 302 events in 28 sports across 41 disciplines. Cycling BMX racing and 10 km marathon swimming were included as official medal events for the first time in history. The Marshall Islands, Montenegro and Tuvalu made their Summer Olympic debuts in Beijing.

Overall, athletes from a record 87 countries won at least one medal, and 55 of them won at least one gold medal. Afghanistan, Mauritius, Sudan, Tajikistan and Togo won their first Olympic medals of any kind. Athletes from Mongolia (which previously held the record for most medals without a gold) and Panama won their first Olympic gold medals. Serbian swimmer Milorad Čavić won the first medal for the country as an independent state. Samoa won its first Olympic medal due to a reallocation of medals after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) retested doping samples in 2016.

Athletes from the host nation China won the most gold medals, with 48, while athletes from the United States won the most medals overall, with 112. Among individual participants, American swimmer Michael Phelps won the most gold medals and the most total medals with eight each, breaking Mark Spitz's 1972 record for the most gold medals won at an Olympic Games.

During and after the games, many athletes who were caught doping, or tested positive for banned substances, were disqualified from competition and had their medals revoked.

Medal table

The medal table is based on information provided by the IOC and is consistent with IOC conventional sorting in its published medal tables. The table uses the Olympic medal table sorting method. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won, where a nation is an entity represented by a NOC. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their IOC country code.

Events in boxing result in a bronze medal being awarded to each of the two competitors who lose their semi-final matches, as opposed to fighting in a third place tie breaker. Other combat sports, which include judo, taekwondo, and wrestling, use a repechage system which also results in two bronze medals being awarded. In the women's 100 metres in athletics, there was a tie for second place which resulted in two silver medals and no bronze medal being awarded. Two bronze medals were awarded for third place ties in both the men's 100 metre backstroke and men's 100 metre freestyle swimming events.

Belarusian athletes Vadim Devyatovskiy and Ivan Tsikhan, who won silver and bronze respectively in the men's hammer throw, both tested positive for abnormal levels of testosterone. After attending a disciplinary hearing in September 2008, they were stripped of their medals on 11 December 2008. Krisztián Pars of Hungary was awarded the silver medal, and Koji Murofushi of Japan was awarded the bronze. However, both of the Belarusian athletes subsequently had their medals reinstated because the doping tests were not handled correctly.

Shooting, Men's 10 metre air pistolKim Jong-su−1−1On 15 August 2008, the IOC announced that North Korean shooter Kim Jong-su had tested positive for the banned substance propranolol and he was stripped of his two medals. He had won a bronze medal in the 10 metre air pistol event and silver in the 50 metre pistol competition. After the disqualification, the bronze medal in the 10 metre air pistol competition went to Jason Turner of the United States, the silver medal in the 50 metre pistol event went to Tan Zongliang of China, and the bronze to Vladimir Isakov of Russia.

Wrestling, Men's Greco-Roman 84 kgAra Abrahamian−1−1Swedish wrestler Ara Abrahamian was originally awarded a bronze medal in the Greco-Roman 84 kg event. However, at the medal ceremony he walked off the podium and dropped his medal on the mat in protest against the judging in his event. On 16 August 2008, the IOC decided to strip Abrahamian of his medal because they felt it amounted to a political demonstration and was disrespectful to other athletes. As there was already one other bronze medalist in this event, Abrahamian's medal was not reallocated.
Athletics, Women's heptathlonLyudmyla Blonska−1−1Ukrainian athlete Lyudmyla Blonska, who finished second in the women's heptathlon, tested positive for the steroid methyltestosterone. On 22 August 2008, the IOC officially stripped Blonska of her medal, and as a result, the silver medal went to Hyleas Fountain of the United States, and the bronze medal to Tatyana Chernova of Russia. Nine years later, on 24 April 2017, Chernova was disqualified and stripped of the bronze medal after a retest of her sample showed that she had used turinabol. The bronze medal was then re-allocated to Great Britain's Kelly Sotherton (see below).

Equestrian, Team jumpingTony André Hansen−1−1Norwegian equestrian athlete Tony André Hansen's horse tested positive for the pain relieving medication capsaicin, a banned substance.

Hansen had the best score on his team, and it was removed from the total. Without Hansen's score, his team was below the bronze medal threshold, and bronze was awarded to the team from Switzerland on 22 December 2008.

First, Rashid Ramzi of Bahrain had been stripped of the gold medal in the men's 1500 metres race. He had been the first athlete from Bahrain to win an Olympic gold medal. His frozen blood sample was retested and found to contain traces of Cera, a stamina-building blood-booster. Kenyan Asbel Kiprop was upgraded to gold, Nick Willis of New Zealand was given the silver and Mehdi Baala of France received the bronze. Italian cyclist Davide Rebellin had also tested positive for Cera and was stripped of the silver medal he earned in the men's individual road race.

On 20 August 2014, the IOC disqualified Mikhnevich's results from the 2008 Summer Olympics in the men's shot put event and reallocated the bronze medal to Canadian athlete Dylan Armstrong.
