The United States competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. American athletes have competed in every Summer Olympic Games since the 1896 Summer Olympics except the 1980 Summer Olympics, which the U.S. boycotted. The United States entered the Games as the most successful nation in Olympic history, winning 2,177 medals in total and 891 of them gold.^[5] The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) sent 596 athletes to Beijing (310 men and 286 women), and competed in 27 out of 28 Olympic sports.^[1][6] The U.S. did not qualify for either the men's or women's team handball tournament in Beijing.

The USOC selected San Jose State University in San Jose, California, as the primary processing center for all Team USA members headed for Beijing 2008.^[7] Team USA members flew into San Jose via San Jose International Airport or San Francisco International Airport for at least two days of document checks, health examinations, cultural briefings, portrait sittings, uniform fittings, and last-minute workout sessions.^[8]

The U.S. did not win the most gold medals for the first time in a Summer Games since 1992, losing the gold medal count to China (51–36).^[9] However, the U.S. won its most medals ever (110) in a non-boycotted games, the total medal count, and more silver and bronze medals than any other participating country.^[4][10] The Olympiad also marked the record 8 gold medal wins for American swimmer Michael Phelps, who surpassed American Mark Spitz's record of 7 golds in a single Games in 1972.^[11] Phelps also surpassed Spitz, Larissa Latynina of the USSR, Paavo Nurmi of Finland, and American sprinter Carl Lewis to become the current record holder for the most Olympic gold medals (14).^[12]

The United States also saw milestones in women's swimming. Natalie Coughlin won 6 medals in Beijing, the most for a female Olympic swimmer.^[13] Dara Torres, who won 3 silver medals after an eight year absence from the Olympic Games, became the oldest Olympic swimmer to win a medal at the age of 41.^[14] American Gymnast Nastia Liukin won the coveted Gold medal in Individual All-Around, becoming the third American woman to win the title.^[15] It was also a successful Olympics for American team-based sports, as the United States men's and women's basketball teams both won gold, as did men's volleyball, men and women's beach volleyball, women's soccer, women's eight in rowing, and the men's and women's 4x400 meter relay teams.^[16] Several other sports saw silver and bronze medals in women's volleyball, softball, baseball, men's team gymnastics, women's team gymnastics, men's fencing sabre team, women's fencing foil team, and both men's and women's water polo.

Basketball

The United States earned qualification spots for both men's and women's basketball by winning the FIBA Americas Championship 2007 and the FIBA Americas Championship for Women 2007.^[67] It was the sixteenth appearance of the nation in the men's tournament and the eighth in the women's tournament; the United States missed only the boycotted 1980 Games for each.^[68] The 12-player roster for the USA Men's Basketball Senior National Team was announced on June 23, 2008.^[67] The first nine members of the eventual 12-player 2008 U.S. Women's Olympic Basketball Team were announced on May 31, 2008.^[69] The final three members were named on July 10, 2008.^[70]

The women's team successfully defended their 2004 Olympic championship, defeating Australia in the gold medal game for the third consecutive Olympics. The victory allowed Lisa Leslie to join former teammate Teresa Edwards as the only basketball players to win four Olympic gold medals.^[71] After a disappointing third-place finish in Athens, the men's team adopted the name "Redeem Team."^[72] In the gold medal match, they beat 2006 FIBA World Champion Spain to give the U.S. its first gold medal in men's international competition in eight years.^[73]

Boxing

The United States qualified nine boxers for the Olympic boxing tournament. Five boxers (Yanez, Warren, Russell, Williams and Andrade) earned their spots at the 2007 World Championships.^[74] Ali, Molina and Wilder qualified at the first American qualifying tournament.^[75] Estrada was the last American boxer to qualify, doing so at the second American tournament.^[76] The United States did not qualify in light heavyweight or super heavyweight classes.

The U.S. Boxing Team suffered several early setbacks from which it never recovered. Before they arrived in Beijing, U.S. boxers were reportedly unhappy with training methods, coaching, and travel restrictions.^[77] On August 8, 2008, two-time national champion and bantamweight boxer Gary Russell Jr. was forced to withdraw from the Olympics after collapsing before his weigh-in.^[78] Under International Amateur Boxing Federation rules, the U.S. was not permitted to select another boxer to take his place. Reigning flyweight world champion Raushee Warren, America's best hope for gold, lost his opening bout to Lee Ok-Sung of South Korea.^[79] In the end, the U.S. left Beijing with one bronze won by Deontay Wilder, its worst performance in Olympic history.^[80] The U.S. had previously won a single silver in 1948 and no medals in 1908 and 1980, when it did not send a boxing team. On September 5, 2008, the national director of coaching for USA Boxing, Dan Campbell, stepped down.^[77]

Equestrian

On July 15, 2008, the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) named the rider/horse combinations for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team.^[89] All equestrian events were open in the Olympics, meaning men and women competed together. The Three events held in the Olympics for equestrian were: eventing, show jumping and dressage. The horses were shipped to England on July 17, placed under quarantine on July 22, 2008, and shipped to Hong Kong for the Olympic Games on July 30, 2008.^[89] Before the start of the games, Heidi White-Carty and her horse Northern Spy withdrew from the U.S. eventing team because of a veterinary issue. Alternate Karen O'Connor and her horse Mandiba took their place on the team.^[90]

The U.S. successfully defended its 2004 gold medal in the team jumping competition, defeating Canada in a timed jumpoff.^[91]

On September 22, 2008, the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) disqualified the U.S. fourth-place finish in the Olympic team dressage event and Courtney King's thirteenth-place finish in individual dressage after King's horse Harmony's Mythilus tested positive for the banned substance felbinac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.^[92] According to USA Today, the FEI did not believe King or "anyone on her behalf or related to the USEF had knowingly administered the medication to the horse."^[92]

Fencing

The U.S. used World Cup rankings to determine who would be on the squad and who would be named alternate. Bowsher appealed the decision but his claim was denied.[124] On the men's team, U.S. Olympic Training Center residents Eli Bremer and Sam Sacksen both made their Olympic modern pentathlon debuts. They struggled early, with disappointing scores in shooting (10m air pistol) and fencing (Épée one touch).[125] For the women's team, 16-year-old Margaux Isaksen joined Sheila Taormina, the first woman to appear in the Olympics in three different sports.[125] Like the men, Isaksen and Toarmina started off slowly, failing to rank higher than 24th in either shooting or fencing. Toarmina, however, finished strongly, taking first place in riding (show jumping) and setting a Modern Pentathlon Olympic Record in swimming (200m freestyle).[126] The U.S. did not medal in modern pentathlon.

Official Olympic Shooting Schedule Softball The team roster for USA Softball was released on March 28, 2008.[134] It included a fifteen-person team roster and a replacement roster of three players. The United States brought an impressive softball record to Beijing, winning every Olympic and world title since 1982.[135] Prior to Beijing, it had a record of 106-10 in World Championships and 32-4 in the Olympics.[135][136] It had won all three Olympic gold medals in softball, and outscored opponents 51-1 in Athens. American dominance may have contributed to the IOC's decision to remove the sport from the Olympics in 2005.[137] But at the Beijing Olympics, the United States lost to Japan 3-1 in the gold medal game. Japanese pitcher Yukiko Ueno had an outstanding performance after pitching 21 innings the day before.[138] Following the surprise loss, the top three teams spelled "2016" using softballs in front of home plate in the hopes of Olympic reinstatement.[139] Team Roster Monica Abbott Laura Berg Crystl Bustos Andrea Duran Jennie Finch Tairia Flowers Vicky Galindo Lovieanne Jung Kelly Kretschman Lauren Lappin Caitlin Lowe Jessica Mendoza Stacey Nuveman Cat Osterman Natasha Watley Head Coach Mike Candrea Assistant Coaches Chuck D'Arcy Karen Jonhs John Rittman Replacement Roster Lisa Fernandez Alicia Hollowell Jenny Topping Results Group Stage All times are China Standard Time (UTC+8) Team 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 R H E  United States 0 4 2 5 0 X X 11 11 0  Venezuela 0 0 0 0 0 X X 0 0 2 WP: Jennie Finch(1-0)   LP: Johana Gomez(0-1) Home runs: USA: Natasha Watley(1), Caitlin Lowe(1), Crystl Bustos(1) VEN: None Team 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 R H E  Canada 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 3  United States 0 0 0 0 0 4 4 8 6 1 WP: Cat Osterman(2-0)   LP: Dione Meier(0-1) Team 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 R H E  United States 1 0 5 1 X X X 7 10 0  Chinese Taipei 0 0 0 0 0 X X 0 2 1 WP: Jennie Finch(2-0)   LP: Su-Hua Lin(0-1) Home runs: USA: Jessica Mendoza(3) TPE: None Team 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 R H E  China 0 0 0 0 0 X X 0 1 1  United States 9 0 0 0 X X X 9 9 0 WP: Cat Osterman(3-0)   LP: Wei Lu(1-3) Home runs: CHN: None USA: Kelly Kretschman(1) Team 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 R H E  United States 0 0 0 0 1 2 X 3 5 0  Australia 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 WP: Cat Osterman(1-0)   LP: Tanya Harding(0-1) Home runs: USA: Crystl Bustos(2) AUS: None Team 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 R H E  United States 4 0 0 3 0 X X 7 9 0  Japan 0 0 0 0 0 X X 0 1 1 WP: Monica Abbott(1-0)   LP: Naho Emoto(0-1) Home runs: USA: Natasha Watley(2), Jessica Mendoza(1,2), Crystl Bustos(3) JPN: None Team 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 R H E  United States 1 2 3 2 X X X 8 13 0  Netherlands 0 0 0 0 0 X X 0 0 1 WP: Monica Abbott(2-0)   LP: Rebecca Soumeru(0-1) Home runs: USA: Tairia Flowers(1), Crystl Bustos(4), Jessica Mendoza(4) NED: None Qualified for the semifinals Eliminated The top four teams will advance to the semifinal round.

The United States Olympic Team Trials in Swimming were held on June 29 – July 6 in Omaha, Nebraska.[140] The U.S. sent two people in each individual discipline and up to six people for the 4x100 freestyle relays and 4x200 freestyle relays.[141] On August 1, Jessica Hardy, who had qualified in the 100 meter breaststroke and the 50 meter freestyle, withdrew from the Olympic team after failing an anti-doping test at the national trials. Hardy opted to pull out rather than contesting the test results at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.[142] The United States left Beijing with 31 swimming medals: 12 gold, 9 silver and 10 bronze.[143] This surpassed the 28 medals won by the swim team in Athens.[9] In the process, the U.S. broke ten swimming world records and twenty-four American records.[144] The American performance in swimming was highlighted by Michael Phelps, who won a total of eight gold medals, surpassing Mark Spitz's 36-year old single Games record of seven gold medals.[145] Phelps also surpassed Spitz, Larissa Latynina of the USSR, Paavo Nurmi of Finland, and American sprinter Carl Lewis to become the current record holder for the most Olympic gold medals (fourteen).[12] All three men's relay teams set world records, and an additional six individual world records were set by Phelps, Ryan Lochte and Aaron Peirsol. The United States also saw milestones in women's swimming. Natalie Coughlin won six medals, more than any other female swimmer in Beijing.[13] The six medals was also the most for any American female athlete in a single Olympics. Rebecca Soni set a world record in the 200 meter breaststroke. Dara Torres, who won 3 silver medals after an eight year absence from the Olympic Games, became the oldest Olympic swimmer to win a medal at the age of 41.[14] Qualifiers for the latter rounds of swimming events were decided on a time only basis, therefore positions shown are overall results versus competitors in all heats.

With the exception of alternate Jackie Lee, the entire American team was composed of Chinese-born athletes.[150] This included Gao Jun, who won a silver medal in doubles for China at the 1992 Olympics and was competing as an American for the third time.[151] Although she failed to obtain a medal, Wang Chen became the first American player to advance to the quarter-finals in Olympic table tennis history after defeating 2004 Olympic bronze medalist Kim Kyung-Ah.[152] The fifth place performance by the women's team was also the best finish the U.S. has ever had.[151] Men's Singles[150] Athlete Event Preliminary round Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Quarterfinals Semifinals Final Opposition Result Opposition Result Opposition Result Opposition Result Opposition Result Opposition Result Opposition Result Opposition Result David Zhuang Singles  Toriola (NGR) L 3 – 4 Did not advance Women's Singles[150] Athlete Event Preliminary round Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Quarterfinals Semifinals Final Opposition Result Opposition Result Opposition Result Opposition Result Opposition Result Opposition Result Opposition Result Opposition Result Wang Chen Singles Bye  Toth (HUN) W 4 – 1  Kim (KOR) W 4 – 3  Li (SIN) L 1 – 4 Did not advance Gao Jun Singles Bye  Odorova (SVK) W 4 – 2  Hirano (JPN) W 4 – 1  Wu (DOM) L 3 – 4 Did not advance Crystal Huang Singles  Yang (CGO) L 2 – 4 Did not advance Alternate Jackie Lee Women's Team Competition Group Round August 13 Singapore 3–0 United States Detail Netherlands 1–3 United States Detail August 14 United States 3–0 Nigeria Detail Qualified for the semifinals Qualified for the bronze medal playoff Eliminated Team Pts Pld W L GW GL  Singapore 6 3 3 0 9 0  United States 5 3 2 1 6 4  Netherlands 4 3 1 2 4 6  Nigeria 3 3 0 3 0 9 August 15 (Women's Team Bronze Play-off Round 1) United States 3–1 Romania Detail August 16 (Women's Team Bronze Play-off Round 2) United States 0–3 South Korea Detail Official Olympic Table Tennis Schedule Taekwondo The United States sent the maximum of four athletes to compete in Olympic Taekwondo; the team was announced after the final phase of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials for Taekwondo on April 5, 2008.[153][154] Diana, Mark and Steven López became the first trio from the same family to compete for the United States since 1904.[155] All three of them won medals: one silver and two bronze.
