Chinese athletes qualified to compete in all 28Olympic sports for the first time. Among these athletes, 469 were competing at their first Olympics, 165 had competed in Athens 2004, and 37 in Sydney 2000. DiverGuo Jingjing, shooterTan Zongliang and basketballerLi Nan, made their fourth Olympic appearances, having first competed in Atlanta 1996.

Chinadominated the rankings for the first time with 51 gold medals (China was later stripped of 3 golds in weightlifting for doping violations). In 2009, Team China won theLaureus World Sports Awards for theBest Team of the Year. The team excluded athletes from theSpecial Administrative Region ofHong Kong, which competed separately asHong Kong, China.

China qualified for 11 of the total 14 rowing events.Zhang Liang was disqualified from the men's single sculls after he forgot the time of his race and failed to turn to the right heat. When Liang finally arrived to take part in the single scull the competition had already finished. "I wrongly remembered my time as that of the third group, but actually it was the second group", he explained. The rules of theInternational Rowing Federation say if an athlete fails to attend a race he forfeits his right to compete in further races. Therefore, Zhang not only missed the single sculls but also forfeited his right to compete in the double sculls. This meant his action had also automatically disqualified his teammateSu Hui. The China Water Sports Administration appealed the decision but the plea was rejected. "This shows we still have some problems in team organization", commented Wei Di, the director of China's water sports programs.[25]
