Canada, represented by theCanadian Olympic Committee (COC), competed at the2008 Summer Olympics inBeijing, China, from August 8 to 24, 2008. Canadian athletes had competed in everySummer Olympic Games since1900 with the exception of1980, whichwere boycotted in protest of theSoviet invasion of Afghanistan. Canada sent 332 athletes in 25 sports, the seventh largest team at the games and Canada's largest since1988.[2] Canada did not send a team inhandball,volleyball orbasketball.[3] Kayaker and2004 Summer Olympics gold medalistAdam van Koeverden was the flag bearer at the opening ceremonies;Karen Cockburn bore the flag at the closing.[1][4]
The COC had set a goal of finishing in the top 16 in total medals;[5] at the2004 Summer Olympics, Canada had finished 19th. Despite failing to win a single medal in the first week of the Games, Canada would rebound, winning a combined 18 medals in the next 9 days. This 9-day medal haul exceeded the 12 medals Canada won in Athens four years earlier. The country would wind up finishing 19th in gold medals and 14th in total medals in Beijing.[6]Equestrian show jumperIan Millar competed at his ninth Summer Olympics, tying the record set byHubert Raudaschl. He had been named to ten straight Olympic teams, but did not compete at the1980 Summer Olympics due to the Canadian boycott.[7] For the first time, Canadian athletes were paid for medals earned. Gold medalists earned$20,000; silver medalists were paid $15,000; and bronze medalists $10,000. A total of $515,000 from the Athlete Excellence Fund was given to the medal winning athletes.[8]
Canada was the next host country of an Olympics, withVancouver hosting the2010 Winter Olympics.
Canada qualified its men's team by finishing eighth during the 2007 world championships. The individuals later qualified at the Canadian Olympic archery trials.[9] It was Canada's first three-man team since the 1992 Summer Olympics.[10] Canada also qualified an archer in the women's division after the Netherlands waived its quota for the women's archery competition.[11]
