Attendees
Around 1200 men and 800 women, a total of around 2000 athletes, took part in the athletics competitions.
In Beijing , in contrast to the games in Sydney and Athens, despite negotiations between the associations, it was not possible for South and North Korea to enter the stadium together at the opening ceremony. The associations from Serbia and Montenegro started separately for the first time after the independence referendum in Montenegro in 2006 .
Competitions
There was a change in the competitive offer of athletics at these games. For women, the 3,000-meter obstacle course has now also been included in the Olympic program. The harmonization of the offer for women was almost complete. There was and is only one discipline that was and still is missing in the women's area compared to the men's offer: when walking, only one distance is carried out, as opposed to two distances for men. Further differences can be found in the hurdle height on the two hurdle distances and the length of the shorter hurdle route, which is 110 meters for men and 100 meters for women, in order to take into account the different stride lengths of the sexes. In addition, a heptathlon was and will be fought as an all- around for women and a decathlon for men .
To test the Olympic course for running marathons for women and men, the Good Luck Beijing Marathon was held on April 20, 2008 .
Stadium and sports facilities
The Olympic Stadium in Beijing was rebuilt for the Games based on a design by the Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron . When the planning was already on the table, the name bird's nest was born in the Chinese media , which contributed to the Swiss architects being awarded the contract to build the facility. The unusual construction received a lot of praise, but of course, as with such large projects, there was also criticism - especially from the artist Ai Weiwei who was involved in the project, who rejects the gigantism that he saw. The cost was 325 million euros, the audience capacity was measured at a value of 91,000 very large. The facility was state-of-the-art for the athletic competitions.
Qualification standards
Each National Olympic Committee was allowed to send one athlete who met the lower B standard or up to three athletes who had achieved the higher A standard to the individual competitions .
In the relay races a maximum of one team consisting of a maximum of six athletes per NOK was allowed to start. National Olympic Committees from which none of the athletes qualified for a competition were entitled to nominate one male athlete and one female athlete for a competition. Exceptions were the 10,000 meter run , the 3000 meter obstacle course and the all-around competitions ( heptathlon , decathlon ).
Achievements from January 1, 2007, and in marathons from September 1, 2006 , were recognized for meeting qualification standards .
Participants in the marathons and the 50 km competition had to be at least twenty years old on December 31, 2008.

doping
The number of doping cases at these games actually exceeded any measure. Athletics was also unacceptably affected by this. Some of the affected athletes were caught shortly after their competition, others were not allowed to compete in the first place because of positive doping tests, the result of which became official before the start of the games, and numerous other athletes were only caught many years later during follow-up checks on the preserved samples using new testing methods. For those concerned, this usually resulted in the withdrawal of their results and a demand for the return of any medals they might have received. In the medal table listed in this article, the correspondingly changed results in the individual disciplines are fully taken into account. The swamp into which athletics had found itself continued, with no end in sight. The stupid athletes were and are the honest athletes who received their medals years later, who were denied participation in final fights by the doping fraudsters and who lost the funding they were actually entitled to because the real placements were only verified a long time after the competitions.
The list of doping offenders is long:
- Rashid Ramzi , Bahrain - 1500 meter run (first first). He tested positive for the doping preparation CERA, and his Olympic victory was canceled by the IOC on November 17, 2009 .
- Nesta Carter , Jamaica - 4 by 100 meter relay (first with the Jamaica relay). Carter had tested positive for the doping agent methylhexaneamine and so the Jamaican team was stripped of the gold medal on January 25, 2017 .
- Denis Alexejew , Russia - 4 x 400 meter relay (initially third with the Russian relay). Alexeyev's doping test from September 2016 was positive, so the entire relay team was disqualified by the IOC.
- Denys Yurchenko , Ukraine - pole vault (initially third). He was stripped of the bronze medal on August 20, 2014 for doping.
- Andrej Michnewitsch , Belarus - shot put (initially third). He was stripped of the bronze medal on August 20, 2014 for violating the doping regulations.
- Pavel Lyschyn , Belarus - shot put (initially fifth). The athlete was convicted of doping abuse in 2016 and his result was canceled.
- Aleksandr Pogorelov , Russia - decathlon (initially fourth). On June 2, 2016, Turinabol was detected in his B sample . He did not respond to any inquiries from the Disciplinary Commission. On August 15th his result was annulled and his 4th place was revoked.
- Ivan Juschkow , Russia - Shot put (initially eleventh). The athlete was convicted of doping abuse in August 2016 and his result was canceled.
- Anastassija Kapatschinskaja , Russia - 400-meter run (initially fifth) and 4 x 400-meter relay (initially second with the Russian relay). She was subsequently disqualified as a repeat offender on August 19, 2016, her individual placement and the result of the relay were canceled.
- Tatiana Firova , Russia - 400-meter run (initially sixth) and 4 x 400-meter relay (initially second with the Russian relay). She was subsequently convicted as a doping sinner, her individual placement and the result of the relay were canceled.
- Elvan Abeylegesse , Turkey - 5000 and 10,000 meter run (initially runner-up in both races). Their medals have been revoked for doping abuse.
- Inga Abitowa , Russia - 10,000 meter run (initially sixth). She was disqualified by the IOC in September 2016 for taking illicit doping substances.
- Jekaterina Volkova , Russia - 3000 meter obstacle course (initially third). She was convicted of doping abuse during a follow-up test. Her bronze medal was stripped of her.
- Julija Tschermoschanskaja , Russia - 4-by-100-meter relay (initially first with the Russian relay). Tschermoschanskaja tested positive in a follow-up test in 2016. The Russian relay was then stripped of the gold medal and awarded to the second placed Belgians.
- Svyatlana Usovich , Belarus - 4 x 400 meter relay (initially first with the Belarus relay). In November 2016, the Belarusian was convicted of doping abuse. With her, the Belarusian relay lost the bronze medal.
- Anna Tschitscherowa , Russia - high jump (initially third). She was stripped of her bronze medal for doping abuse in 2016.
- Jelena Slessarenko , Russia - high jump (initially fourth). Their ranking was also canceled in 2016 for doping abuse.
- Wita Palamar , Ukraine - high jump (initially fifth). In 2016, her result for doping abuse was revoked.
- Ljudmyla Blonska , Ukraine - long jump and heptathlon . It was one of the few cases with timely evidence of doping. Four days after her first appearance at these games, the heptathlon, she tested positive for the anabolic steroid methyltestosterone . After the B sample was also positive the next day, it was initially suspended. Another day later she was disqualified and permanently excluded from the games. A lifelong ban followed later.
- Tatiana Lebedewa , Russia - long jump and triple jump (first in each case second). Their silver medals were canceled following follow-up examinations in January 2017 for doping abuse.
- Chrysopigi Devetzi , Greece - long jump (eliminated in qualification) and triple jump (initially third). Her bronze medal was canceled following follow-up examinations in January 2017 for doping abuse.
- Natallja Michnewitsch , Belarus - shot put (initially second). She was positively noticed in the extensive doping night tests in 2016. She was doped with metandienone and stanozolol in 2008, was subsequently disqualified and therefore lost her silver medal.
- Nadseja Astaptschuk , Belarus - shot put (initially third). Her bronze medal was canceled during subsequent check-ups for doping abuse.
- Yarelys Barrios , Cuba - Discus throw (first second). As part of post-testing of doping samples from the 2008 Olympic Games, the banned diuretic acetazolamide was discovered in her . As a result, she was stripped of the silver medal.
- Aksana Myankova , Belarus - hammer throw (first first). She was convicted of doping and disqualified in 2016. The gold medal was revoked.
- Darja Ptschelnik , Belarus - hammer throw (initially fourth or third after Mjankowa's result cancellation). She was convicted of doping and disqualified in 2016. She had to surrender her bronze medal.
- Marija Abakumowa , Russia - javelin throw (initially second). During follow-up checks on her doping test, the ingestion of Turinabol was proven. The IOC then decided in September 2016 to withdraw her silver medal.
- Tatiana Chernova , Russia - heptathlon (initially fourth). She was disqualified on April 24, 2017 after being convicted of doping abuse.
In addition, there were two athletes who were initially disqualified by the IOC in December 2008 because of positive doping tests . The concerned Wadsim Dzewjatouski and Iwan Zichan , both from Belarus, appealed against this decision before the International Court of Justice for Sports (CAS) , which overturned the athletes' disqualification in June 2010 because of a breakdown in the laboratory that analyzed the samples. IOC Vice President Thomas Bach announced that the IOC would conduct another analysis to overturn the CAS ruling.
Sporting successes
The level of performance at these Olympic Games was very high. Although the quality decreased after the large number of athletes who had to be disqualified for doping reasons over the years after the games, it was still at a high level afterwards. Four world records were set:
> 100 meter run : Usain Bolt ( Jamaica ) - 9.69 s
> 200 meter run : Usain Bolt (Jamaica) - 19.30
> 3000 meter obstacle course : Gulnara Galkina ( Russia ) - 8: 58.81 min
> Pole vault : Jelena Issinbajewa (Russia) - 5.05 m
In addition, the Olympic record was improved eleven times in eleven disciplines, four times for women and seven times for men.
The most successful nation was once again the United States with seven Olympic champions and a total of 25 medals. But US superiority was no longer as evident as it was four years ago. Kenya , Jamaica and Russia each had five gold medals in their accounts. Ethiopia followed with four Olympic victories. There were two gold medals each for Cuba and the surprisingly strong Belgium . All other nations won at most one gold medal in athletics.
For the individual athletes, the following services are particularly worth mentioning.
- Four athletes won two gold medals each at these games:
- Usain Bolt ( Jamaica ) - 100 and 200 meters , both with world records.
- Kenenisa Bekele ( Ethiopia ) - 5000 and 10,000 meters .
- Tirunesh Dibaba (Ethiopia) - 5000 and 10,000 meters.
- LaShawn Merritt ( USA ) - 400 meters and 4 by 400 meters relay .
- Angelo Taylor (USA) - 400 meter hurdles and 4 x 400 meter relay.
- Three athletes and one athlete succeeded in repeating their 2004 Olympic victory in Athens :
- Veronica Campbell-Brown (Jamaica) - 200 meters
- Jelena Isinbayeva (Russia) - pole vault
- Françoise Mbango Etone ( Cameroon ) - triple jump
- Andreas Thorkildsen ( Norway ) - javelin throw
Competition rounds during the games
Up to three elimination competitions had to be contested in the individual disciplines, in which the participants in the final were determined. There were no preliminary rounds in the 10,000 meter run, in the marathon, in walking and in the all-around event.

About twenty meters from the finish line, Usain Bolt slowed down and spread his arms cheerfully, which gave him an even better time, especially since his shoelace had loosened and thus his shoe had been open for large parts of the route.

The later Olympic champion Majewski had exceeded the 21-meter mark for the first time on the morning of the competition day in the qualification and was thus already the best in the preliminary round. In the final, he took the lead in the first attempt, but lost it in the second round to the later third and fourth placed, the Belarusian Michnewitsch and the Canadian Armstrong. With good third and fourth attempts, Majewski decided the competition. Cantwell only moved from fifth to second in the last attempt. The favorite 22-meter pushers Hoffa (seventh place) and Adam Nelson (no valid attempt) had no chance .
The shot put was overshadowed by three doping cases, each of which only became apparent years later through follow-up controls.
- Belarusian Andrej Michnewitsch was stripped of the bronze medal on August 20, 2014 for violating the doping regulations.
- His fourth-placed compatriot Pawel Lyschyn , who was also convicted of doping abuse in 2016, was also doped .
- The eleventh-placed Ivan Yuschkow was convicted of doping abuse in August 2016, his results from Beijing were deleted.

IOC Vice President Thomas Bach announced that the IOC would conduct another analysis to overturn the CAS ruling.

In an extremely fast race in which two continental records were set, the Dutch Lornah Kiplagat first set the pace. The Ethiopian-born Elvan Abeylegesse , who started for Turkey - later disqualified for doping offenses - took the lead when Kiplagat fell back on the seventh kilometer and pulled away from the field with Tirunesh Dibaba about two kilometers before the end. In the final round, Dibaba was the faster runner and won with Olympic and African records , while Abeylegesse, whose doping offense remained undetected for a long time, initially came second. For the Kenyan Linet Masai, the bronze medal remained in the end, because the American Shalane Flanagan, who improved her own North American record by over ten seconds, surprisingly came second. The German Sabrina Mockenhaupt divided up the race intelligently and finished eleventh with her personal best of 31: 14.21 minutes after she was only lapped shortly before the end. Tirunesh Dibaba broke the 30-minute limit for the first time since the world record set by the Chinese Wang Junxia in 1993. Out of 31 runners who started, 27 finished the race, two were disqualified for doping offenses.
The Russian Inga Abitowa was disqualified by the IOC in September 2016 for taking illicit doping substances.

At 23 ° C and light rain, the feared heat battle did not materialize. Shortly after twenty kilometers, Diţă pulled away from the rest of the field and ran out a lead of more than a minute. At forty kilometers, the chasing group, which had been seven until then, split up. Two Kenyans and two Chinese women fought for the medals, and finally world champion Ndereba prevailed in the final sprint against world championship runner-up Zhou. The British world record holder Paula Radcliffe , who decided to participate only a few days before the games after a long injury break, kept up for a long time, but was plagued by cramps in the last quarter and came in 23rd place. Of the 81 runners who started, twelve did not reach the finish line, including some favorites: Deena Kastor (USA) injured her foot at kilometer five, Reiko Tosa from Japan, third in the World Cup , fell back visibly suffering in the first half, and the Ethiopians Berhane Adere and Gete Wami retired after falling out of the top group at thirty kilometers. Mizuki Noguchi , the 2004 Olympic champion , canceled shortly before the games due to an injury.
