The 2008 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, were held in Beijing, China from August 8 to August 24, 2008. Over 11,000 athletes from 204 countries participated in the Games, competing in 302 events across 28 sports.

China, as the host country, led the medal table with 51 gold, 21 silver, and 28 bronze medals, followed by the United States and Russia.

The 2008 Olympics were notable for a number of reasons, including the opening ceremony, which was one of the largest and most elaborate in Olympic history. The Games also featured several memorable moments, such as swimmer Michael Phelps winning a record-breaking eight gold medals, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt setting world records in the 100m and 200m races, and Chinese gymnast Zou Kai winning three gold medals in gymnastics.

The 2008 Olympics were also surrounded by controversy, with concerns raised about pollution levels in Beijing, human rights issues in China, and allegations of doping by some athletes.

Despite the controversies, the 2008 Olympics were considered a success and helped to raise China's international profile. The Games also had a significant impact on Beijing's infrastructure, with new stadiums, transportation systems, and other facilities constructed for the event.
