'''Athletics at the [[2008 Summer Olympics]]''' were held during the last ten days of the games, from August 15 to August 24, 2008, at the [[Beijing National Stadium]]. The Olympic sport of athletics is split into four distinct sets of events: [[track and field]] events, [[road running]] events, and [[racewalking]] events. |
||
[[File:Beijing 2008, Beijing National Stadium.jpg|thumb|[[Beijing National Stadium]] where the [[Sport of athletics|athletics]] for 2008 Summer Olympics was held]] |
|||
Both men and women |
Both men and women had very similar schedules of events. Men competed in 24 events and women in 23, as their schedule lacked the 50 km [[racewalking|race walk]]. In addition, both the men's 110 m [[hurdles]] and [[decathlon]] are reflected in the women's schedule by the 100 m hurdles and [[heptathlon]], respectively. |
||
The Olympic record was broken in 17 returning events. In five events, including the inaugural women's 3000 m steeplechase, the world record was broken. |
|||
==Events== |
|||
===Track events=== |
|||
The track portion of Athletics includes, as it has in the past, sprints (100 m, 200 m, 400 m), middle-distance (800 m and 1500 m) and long-distance (5000 m and 10,000 m) events. Obstacle events include hurdling (100 m and 400 m for women, 110 m and 400 m for men), relays (4×100 m and 4×400 m) and the 3000 m [[steeplechase (athletics)|steeplechase]]. |
|||
===Field events=== |
|||
The field portion includes the [[long jump]], [[triple jump]], [[high jump]], [[pole vault]], [[discus]], [[shot put]], [[javelin]], and [[hammer throw]] for both men and women. |
|||
===Combined events=== |
|||
Combined events include the decathlon for men and the heptathlon for women. Each competition takes place over two days. The heptathlon combines 100 m hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200 m, long jump, javelin and 800 m. The decathlon combines 100 m, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400 m, 110 m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin, and 1500 m. |
|||
===Road events=== |
|||
The road portion of Athletics includes a [[marathon]] and a 20 km race walk for both men and women. In addition, the men compete in a 50 km race walk. |
|||
==Qualifying criteria== |
|||
Each [[National Olympic Committee]] (NOC) may enter up to 3 athletes per event who have met the A standard, or 1 athlete per event who has met the B standard only. NOCs may also enter up to 1 relay team per event. NOCs with no qualified athlete may enter 1 athlete in 1 athletic event (except the 10000 m, 3000 m Steeplechase and combined events). |
|||
For relay events, a maximum of 16 teams per event will qualify based on the aggregate of the two fastest times achieved at IAAF events in the period of [[January 1]], [[2007]] to [[July 16]], [[2008]]. |
|||
The qualifying standards must be reached during the respective qualifying period at competitions approved by [[IAAF]]. |
|||
For individual events, except marathon, the period is [[January 1]], [[2007]] to [[July 23]], [[2008]]. For Marathon, the period is [[September 1]], [[2006]] to [[July 23]], [[2008]]. |

The athletics was, alongside the [[Cycling at the 2008 Summer Olympics|Olympic cycling events]], one of the few large sports programmes in which the host nation fared comparatively poorly in terms of medals won. Despite a haul of 100 medals at the games as a whole, [[PR China|Chinese]] athletes took home two [[bronze medal]]s from the athletics events. The country's foremost athlete [[Liu Xiang (hurdler)|Liu Xiang]], the 2004 Olympic champion in the [[110 metres hurdles]], had to withdraw after a false start due to injury. |
|||
In the years following the events, results were significantly affected by doping findings; 19 of the 47 events have had amendments to their medal rankings as a result of testing and retesting of samples taken at or before the Games. Multiple medalists have been sanctioned for doping violations. Russia has had the most medals stripped (9). |

 Pictogram for athletics at the 2008 Games | |
| Venue | Beijing National Stadium |
| Dates | August 15–24, 2008 |
| Competitors | 2,057 from 200 nations |
Athletics at the 2008 Summer Olympics were held during the last ten days of the games, from August 15 to August 24, 2008, at the Beijing National Stadium. The Olympic sport of athletics is split into four distinct sets of events: track and field events, road running events, and racewalking events.
Both men and women had very similar schedules of events. Men competed in 24 events and women in 23, as their schedule lacked the 50 km race walk. In addition, both the men's 110 m hurdles and decathlon are reflected in the women's schedule by the 100 m hurdles and heptathlon, respectively.
The Olympic record was broken in 17 returning events. In five events, including the inaugural women's 3000 m steeplechase, the world record was broken.
The athletics was, alongside the Olympic cycling events, one of the few large sports programmes in which the host nation fared comparatively poorly in terms of medals won. Despite a haul of 100 medals at the games as a whole, Chinese athletes took home two bronze medals from the athletics events. The country's foremost athlete Liu Xiang, the 2004 Olympic champion in the 110 metres hurdles, had to withdraw after a false start due to injury.
In the years following the events, results were significantly affected by doping findings; 19 of the 47 events have had amendments to their medal rankings as a result of testing and retesting of samples taken at or before the Games. Multiple medalists have been sanctioned for doping violations. Russia has had the most medals stripped (9).
