Bahrain competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. The country sent a total of 15 competitors to the Games, competing in athletics, swimming and shooting,.[1] This constituted Bahrain's largest Olympic delegation to date.[2] Among the country's representatives is Maryam Yusuf Jamal, reigning world champion in the women's 1,500 metre run.[3] Rakia Al Gassra was the country's flagbearer at the Games' opening ceremony.[2] In athletics, Rashid Ramzi was originally awarded the gold medal in men's 1,500 meters (Bahrain's first Olympic medal) but it was later stripped due to doping violation.[4]
