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. [1] Approximately 10,942 athletes from 204 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated in 302 events in 28 sports. [2]
Athletes from 87 countries won medals and 55 of them won at least one gold medal. Both of these categories set new records until they were surpassed in 2016 and 2020 respectively. Athletes from China won the most gold medals, with 48, while athletes from the United States won the most total medals, with 112. Afghanistan, [3] Mauritius, [4] Sudan, [5] Tajikistan [6] and Togo [7] won their first Olympic medals. Athletes from Mongolia (which previously held the record for most medals without a gold) [8] and Panama [9] won their first gold medals. Serbian swimmer Milorad Čavić won the first medal for the country as an independent NOC. Serbian athletes had previously won medals as nationals of Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro. [10] Samoa won its first Olympic medal due to medals reallocation after the IOC retested doping samples in 2016.

The medal table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (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. [11] [12] If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their IOC country code. [13]
In boxing, judo, taekwondo and wrestling, two bronze medals are awarded in each weight class. [14] Therefore, the total number of bronze medals is greater than the total number of gold or silver medals. An exception was the men's 84 kg Greco-Roman wrestling, where Ara Abrahamian was stripped of his medal due to his conduct during the medal ceremony. Additionally there was a tie for the silver medal in the women's 100 metres in athletics and no bronze was awarded. [15] Ties for third in swimming's men's 100 metre backstroke and men's 100 metre freestyle meant that two bronze medals were awarded for those events. [16]

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. [18] However, both of the Belarusian athletes subsequently had their medals reinstated because the doping tests were not handled correctly. [19]

16 August 2008 | Wrestling Men's Greco-Roman 84 kg | Ara Abrahamian (SWE)DSQ | −1 | −1 | Swedish 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. [21] As there was already one other bronze medalist in this event, Abrahamian's medal was not reallocated. | |||
