1906 Intercalated Games

Great Britain competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.[3] The United Kingdom was represented by the British Olympic Association (BOA), and the team of selected athletes was officially known as Team GB. Britain is one of only five NOCs to have competed in every modern Summer Olympic Games since 1896. The delegation of 547 people included 311 competitors – 168 men, 143 women – and 236 officials. The team was made up of athletes from the whole United Kingdom including Northern Ireland (whose people may elect to hold Irish citizenship and are able to be selected to represent either Great Britain or Ireland at the Olympics).[4] Additionally some British overseas territories compete separately from Britain in Olympic competition.

Great Britain's medal performance at the 2008 Summer Olympics was its best in a century; at the close of the Games, the total medal count, 47, was also the fourth highest Great Britain had ever achieved. Only its performance at the 1908 Summer Olympics, which Britain hosted in London, resulted in more gold medals being awarded.[5] Following retests of doping samples in 2016 in connection with the Russian doping scandal, four further medals, all bronze, were awarded in athletics, retrospectively increasing the total gained to 51. As of 1 July 2020, the award of the bronze medals to both the Men's and Women's 4 × 400 metres relay teams and the upgrade of Goldie Sayers to bronze in the Women's javelin, confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), brought the official medal total to 50, after which the confirmation of Kelly Sotherton receiving her second reallocated bronze medal in the Women's Heptathlon (having been part of the Women's 4 × 400 metre team) took the total number of medals won to 51.

Great Britain finished 4th overall in the medal tables, a target previously set by UK Sport, the public body responsible for distributing funding to elite sport, for the 2012 Games. UK Sport considered whether to target 3rd place in the 2012 Games, which was hosted by the United Kingdom in London.[6]

The outstanding individual achievement for a British athlete at the Games was when cyclist Chris Hoy became the first British athlete in 100 years to win three gold medals at a single Olympic Games.

Because London was to be host city of the 2012 Summer Olympics, a British segment featuring football star David Beckham was performed during the closing ceremony.

## Medal targets

[edit]

UK Sport, which distributes National Lottery funding to elite sport, published its expectations for the Beijing Olympics in June 2008. The target medal count was set at 41 "potential" medals, with 35 of those identified as "expected" to be won, including 10 to 12 gold medals. Team GB's overall objective was to finish eighth in the medal table.[8]

The gold medal expectation was exceeded on 19 August when Paul Goodison earned Britain's 13th gold medal in the men's Laser class sailing event. The expectation of 35 medals was passed on 20 August when Team GB claimed their 36th medal – a bronze in the women's RS:X sailing event, won by Bryony Shaw. The overall medal target of 41 was achieved when canoeist Tim Brabants took gold in the men's 1000 m K-1 canoeing event, claiming Britain's 41st physical medal (three further medals were guaranteed in boxing at the time),[9] and the target was exceeded when Heather Fell secured the 42nd medal, a silver, in the women's modern pentathlon.[10]

Not all of the medals claimed had been identified and included in the target medal count; although Team GB fell short of targets in some disciplines, they exceeded targets in others. For example, the cycling target of six medals was met twice over on 19 August when Victoria Pendleton won Britain's 12th cycling medal, a gold in the women's sprint event.[11] A further two medals were already guaranteed at this stage in the men's individual sprint: Chris Hoy and Jason Kenny subsequently won gold and silver, respectively.[12] Altogether, Team GB won seven of the ten gold medals available in the track cycling events at the velodrome. The swimmers also doubled their targeted medal count when David Davies won the team's sixth swimming medal – a silver in the men's 10 km open water marathon on 21 August.[13] Despite the men's and women's archery teams having placed second and third, respectively, at the 2007 world championships,[14] the British archers won neither of their targeted medals, leading to criticism of the tactics used by head coach Peter Suk from members of the team.[15][16]

## Archery

At the 2007 World Outdoor Target Championships, Great Britain's men's team placed second and its women's team placed third.[14] This qualified the nation to send the maximum quota of three men and three women to the 2008 Olympics.[17]

## Athletics

The initial squad was selected for the British team on 14 July; however, the final team was not confirmed until the outcome of a court case involving Dwain Chambers.[18] Under the rules of the BOA, Chambers had been banned from future Games after testing positive for the steroid THG in 2003. His appeal to overturn that ban, on the grounds that it was an unfair restraint of trade, failed and he was omitted from the squad.[19] The team included former Olympic medal winners Marlon Devonish and Kelly Sotherton, as well as former Olympic individual finalists Joanne Pavey, Paula Radcliffe, Helen Clitheroe and Tasha Danvers. Women's marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe faced a battle to be fit for the Games due to a stress fracture in her left thigh.[20] She eventually proved fit enough to start the race but struggled to finish in 23rd position.[21]

A total of four medals were won, one gold, two silver and one bronze. UK Athletics performance director Dave Collins stood down after the Games. This was due in part to the team's failure to meet the UK Sport target of winning five medals.[8][22] Ironically, a series of retests ordered in the wake of the Russian doping scandal in 2015 and 2016 found that Great Britain athletes had been deprived of medals in a further four events by athletes later confirmed to have doped – the women's heptathlon (Kelly Sotherton), the men's and women's 4 x 400-metre relay teams and women's javelin (Goldie Sayers). When these medals are redistributed, Great Britain's 2008 athletics total of eight medals will be its most successful since the second world war, and 75% over target.[23]

* The athlete who finished in second place, Lyudmila Blonska of Ukraine, tested positive for a banned substance.[24][25] Both the A and the B tests were positive, therefore Blonska was stripped of her silver medal, and both British heptathletes moved up a position.

## Badminton

[edit]

See also: Badminton at the 2008 Summer Olympics

Six British badminton players went to the Games, competing in four out of the five badminton events. They did not win any medals, thus failing to reach the one medal target set by UK Sport.[8] The mixed doubles pairing of Gail Emms and Nathan Robertson, who won silver in the 2004 tournament, progressed furthest amongst the British athletes, reaching the quarterfinals.

Seven competitors joined Team GB for the canoeing events, with three in the slalom and four in the flatwater sprint. Anna Hemmings and Jessica Walker, in the K-2 kayaking pairs, were a late addition to the team after qualification complications with the Spanish team.[30] Three medals were won, exceeding the target of two set by UK Sport.[8] Two of the medals were won by sprint kayaker Tim Brabants, who had previously won a bronze at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.[8]

## Cycling

Triple gold medallist Chris Hoy

Team GB's cycling squad for Beijing totalled twenty five entrants in the four disciplines. Included were two reigning Olympic track cycling champions, Chris Hoy and Bradley Wiggins, plus a further two medal winners from 2004, as well as several reigning track world champions. Great Britain won fourteen cycling medals (eight gold, four silver and two bronze) in total to top the cycling medal table. The Cycling team won the BBC Sports team of the year award and was nominated for Laureus World team of the year.

On the track Mark Cavendish was the only member of the squad of fourteen not to win at least one medal. Chris Hoy became Scotland's most successful Olympic competitor ever,[31] and the first Briton to win three gold medals at a single Olympic Games since Henry Taylor in 1908.[12] His success resulted in the velodrome for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow being named in his honour.[32] Rebecca Romero became the first British woman to win a medal in two different Olympic sports by following her silver medal in the quadruple sculls rowing in 2004 with gold in the women's individual pursuit.[33]

In the debut appearance of BMX events at the Olympics, world champion Shanaze Reade finished out of the medals after crashing out of the women's final. Reade had been unbeaten all year and was the favourite to win the women's title.[34]

On the road Nicole Cooke's win in the women's road race provided the first Olympic gold for an athlete from Wales since Richard Meade in 1972.[35]

Great Britain qualified three fencers for the individual fencing events. Cambridge University student Alex O'Connell was the only fencer included in the original allocation for Team GB announced in May 2008.[44][45] The other two British fencers were added through the re-allocation of places by the FIE (the governing body for Olympic fencing) following the withdrawal of entrants from other NOCs.[46][47]

## Gymnastics

[edit]

See also: Gymnastics at the 2008 Summer Olympics

Team GB entered nine gymnasts into the artistic and trampoline events. On winning the bronze medal in the men's pommel horse event, Louis Smith became the first British gymnast ever to win an individual apparatus Olympic medal in gymnastics, and the first Briton to win any individual gymnastics medal since Walter Tysall won silver in the men's all-around event in 1908.[51][52] Laura Jones was originally selected to take part in the women's artistic team event but, because of a slipped disc in her back, she was replaced by the reserve gymnast Imogen Cairns.[53]

The result of the uneven bars final, in which Britain's Beth Tweddle placed 4th, was called into question after documents were found that seemed to say that Chinese gymnasts He Kexin and Yang Yilin were only 14, and therefore under the age required to compete, at the time of the Games. An investigation into their ages was launched by the IOC to determine whether it was necessary to disqualify them, thus Tweddle's standing could have been changed to 2nd, giving her a silver medal.[54] After a five-and-a-half-week investigation the Chinese athletes were cleared and the original results allowed to stand.[55]

Double gold medallist Rebecca Adlington

Thirty-seven athletes represented Team GB in the swimming events. Selection followed the 2008 British Olympic Swimming Trials in Sheffield in April, with open water event swimmers selected after performance in the 2008 World Open Water Swimming Championships, in Seville, Spain. In winning six medals (two gold, two silver and two bronze) the team bettered the target of three medals set by UK Sport.[8] The most successful swimmer was Rebecca Adlington who won two gold medals. Her 400 m freestyle success was Britain's first Olympic swimming title since 1988, and the first swimming gold by a British woman since 1960. Her second gold, in the 800 m freestyle, meant she also equalled the best performance by a British woman, from any sport, at the summer Olympics and was the best swimming performance by a Briton at the Olympics for 100 years.[65]

Team GB entered three athletes into the taekwondo competition. Sarah Stevenson won Team GB's first-ever medal in Olympic taekwondo – a bronze in the women's +67 kg category.[67] Another British hopeful, Aaron Cook, missed out on bronze in the men's −80 kg, which led to his coach publicly criticising the referee's decisions.[68]

* After a successful appeal by the British team, the result of Stevenson's quarterfinal match was reversed, granting her two points for a final-round kick to Chen's head which the judges had previously missed. The reversal of the decision, after video footage was considered, is thought to be a first for the sport.[69]

## Tennis

## Sports not contested in Beijing

[edit]

British representatives participated in the qualifying tournaments of a number of other Olympic sports in the lead up to the 2008 Games, only for events outside of the athletes' control to prevent their further participation in the Games.

### Baseball

[edit]

See also: Baseball at the 2008 Summer Olympics

The GB baseball team finished 2nd in the 2007 European Baseball Championship behind the Netherlands, guaranteeing them a place at the Olympic qualifying tournament in Taiwan. However, a lack of funding forced the team to withdraw, with their place being taken by Germany.[72]

### Football

[edit]

See also: Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics

The award of the 2012 Summer Olympics to London has brought the question of British participation in the football tournaments to the fore, given that there is traditionally no single United Kingdom national team. The British Olympic Association initially refused to rule out the possibility of entry for 2008, but were unable to come to an agreement with the Scottish Football Association.[73] The 2007 European Under-21 Championship, which served as the European qualifying tournament for the men's competition, saw the England U21 team reach the semi-finals, which would have meant a place at the Olympics. Because at the Olympics the team is representative of the entire UK, England were thus prevented from taking this place, with instead a play-off taking place between Portugal and Italy. A similar situation occurred with the England Women's team who, by virtue of being one of the top three European sides at the 2007 World Cup, would have been granted a place at the Olympics. Instead, there was a play-off between Denmark and Sweden.

## Media coverage

[edit]

The main rights to Olympic coverage in the United Kingdom are held by the BBC, under the Ofcom Code on Sports and Other Listed and Designated Events. An extensive range of broadcasting options was used to provide over 2,500 hours of coverage.[74]

For the first time, Olympic coverage was broadcast in high-definition on BBC HD. Digital television viewers had access to up to six streamed channels covering the Games on BBC Red Button, whilst the BBC's website permitted British broadband users to view live streams from a variety of events. Live broadcasts ran overnight and throughout the day on BBC One and BBC Two, starting at 0200 daily; a highlights programme, Games Today, was broadcast on BBC One following the close of each day's events.

The opening and closing ceremonies were anchored by Sue Barker and Huw Edwards, whilst general coverage was anchored (at various times of the day) by Adrian Chiles, Clare Balding, Gabby Logan, Jake Humphrey, Sue Barker, Hazel Irvine and John Inverdale. Former Olympic contenders – including gold medallists Michael Johnson, Shirley Robertson, Adrian Moorhouse, Steve Redgrave, Jonathan Edwards and Chris Boardman – provided analysis.[75]

Eurosport also broadcast coverage of the Games viewable in the United Kingdom.[76] In accordance with the ITC Code, it can show live events, provided that such events can also be broadcast by the BBC (although the BBC can choose not to do so).[citation needed]

Radio coverage was provided by BBC Radio 5 Live, and BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra on digital radio.[74]
