Revision as of 23:47, 12 August 2008

Template:Infobox Olympics Canada Canada's Olympic Committee will compete at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, People's Republic of China in August, 2008. Canadian athletes have competed in every Summer Olympic Games since 1900, except the 1980 Summer Olympics which they boycotted. Canada is represented by the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC).

Because of China's handling of protests in Tibet, there have been calls for nations to boycott the Olympics. However, Chris Rudge, CEO of the Canadian Olympic Committee, said "we would not support a boycott, certainly not at this point in time."[1]

A list of the members of the Canadian Olympic team follows, or will be added when places in the team are earned. Canada has qualified athletes in 25 of 28 sports. Canada will not send a team in Handball, Volleyball or Basketball.[2] Kayaker and 2004 Summer Olympics gold medalist Adam van Koeverden will be the flag bearer at the opening ceremonies.[3] The COC has set a goal of finishing in the top 16 in medals; at the 2004 Summer Olympics, Canada finished 19th.[4]
