Template:Infobox Olympics Canada Canada's Olympic Committee has been competing 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). Canada will send 332 athletes in 25 of 28 sports, the seventh largest team at the games and Canada's largest since 1988.[1] Canada will not send a team in Handball, Volleyball or Basketball.[2]

Kayaker and 2004 Summer Olympics gold medalist Adam van Koeverden was 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] Equestrian show jumper Ian Millar will compete at his ninth Summer Olympics, tying the record set by Hubert Raudaschl. He has been named to ten straight Olympic teams, but did not compete at the 1980 Summer Olympics because of the Canadian boycott.[5]

Because of China's handling of protests in Tibet and China's handling of human rights, there were calls for nations to boycott the Olympics. However, Chris Rudge, CEO of the Canadian Olympic Committee, said "we would not support a boycott."[6]

Canada's first medal of these Olympic Games was finally won on Saturday, August 16, ending a week-long medal drought.
