Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Israel competed at the2008 Summer Olympics inBeijing, China. This was Israel's fourteenth participation in the Summer Olympics.

Israel sent 43 athletes to compete in Beijing, the largest Israeli delegation in Olympic history, with the previous record having been 40 in2000, and was broken in2016 with 47.[2] The Olympic team was split 23 men and 20 women, which is the largest share of women in Israel's summer Olympic history. This was the youngest delegation in Israel's Olympic history, with about half the team under the age of 23, and many of them were expected to reach their peak in time for the 2012 Olympics in London.

ShooterGuy Starik became the second Israeli in Olympic history to participate in 4 Olympic Games. Three athletes made their third Olympic appearance:pole vaulterAleksandr Averbukh, who has two European championship titles, two world championship medals and two Olympic finals in his resume, judokaAriel Ze'evi, three-times European champion and bronze medalist in2004 Summer Olympics, andcanoerMichael Kolganov, former world champion and bronze medalist in2000 Summer Olympics, who was the flagbearer for Israel in the opening ceremony.[1]12 other athletes made their second Olympic appearance, while 27 athletes made their Olympic debut at Beijing.

Israel made its Olympic debut in Beijing in the team event inrhythmic gymnastics, women's épée in fencing, women's one-person dinghy (Laser Radial) in sailing, and women's doubles in tennis.

Among the medal hopefuls wereAriel Ze'evi, and alsoUdi Gal andGideon Kliger, 3-times world bronze medalists in sailing470 class,Shahar Tzuberi, world bronze medalist in sailboardNeil Pryde RS:X class, and tennis men's double teamJonathan Erlich andAndy Ram, winners of the2008 Australian Open and #3 seeds in the Olympic tournament.

The largest delegation in Israel's Olympic history won just one bronze medal byShahar Tzuberi in this Olympics, which was below the expectations of the National Olympic committee. However, beside disappointment from failures of medal hopefuls, such asArik Ze'evi,Udi Gal andGideon Kliger, andJonathan Erlich andAndy Ram, there were some fine performances from other athletes.

The sailing team was close to win another medal byVered Buskila andNike Kornecki in women's 470 class, who finished in fourth place, whileMaayan Davidovich became the first Israeli female windsurfer to place in the top 10.

The Gymnasts excelled and recorded first finals in Israel Olympic history byAlex Shatilov, 8th in men's floor (best achievement in artistic gymnastics), the rhythmic team placed sixth on its debut in the team all-around event, whileIrina Risenzon placed 9th in the rhythmic individual all-around event. Also the 14th place ofNeta Rivkin, the youngest member of the Olympic team, was a good achievement.

There were plenty of national records in the swimming pool – 11 in 17 races – and 3 swimmers achieved 4 top-16 places between them, more than any previous Olympics.Gal Nevo was the best of them, with 11th place in 400 metres individual medley and 13th place in 200 metres individual medley.Nimrod Shapira Bar-Or got 15th place in 200 metres freestyle, andGuy Barne'a 16th in 100 metres backstroke.

Among the other sports, there was only one notable achievement,Gal Yekutiel's fifth place in judo, which was beyond the expectations from him.

In shooting, 4-times OlympianGuy Starik came close to the final of the rifle prone event, but a miss on the final shot placed him in 12th place, losing on tie break to the 4 shooters ranked above him.

On the down side, all four athletes in track-and-field failed to reach their expected results, all three fencers were eliminated in their first bouts, and four tennis players recorded just one win between them (byShahar Pe'er) before being eliminated.
