Template:Infobox Olympics United States The United States is competing at the 2008 Summer Olympics. American athletes have competed in every Summer Olympic Games since the 1896 Summer Olympics, except the 1980 Summer Olympics which the U.S. boycotted. The United States is entering the games as the most successful nation in Olympic history, winning almost 2,200 medals in total and almost 900 of them gold.[1] The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) will send 596 athletes to Beijing (310 men and 286 women), and will compete in 27 out of 28 sports.[2][3] The U.S. did not qualify for either the men's or women's team handball tournament in Beijing.
The USOC selected San Jose State University in San Jose, California, as the primary processing center for all Team USA members headed for Beijing 2008.[4] Team USA members flew into San Jose via San Jose International Airport or San Francisco International Airport for at least two days of document checks, health examinations, cultural briefings, portrait sittings, uniform fittings, and last-minute workout sessions.[5]

Additionally, Morgan Hamm withdrew from competition on August 7 because of an ankle injury, being replaced by Alexander Artemev.[75]
Two members of the U.S. women's gymnastics team, Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin, were named at the conclusion of the Olympics Trials on June 22.

Modern pentathlon
On the men's team, both Sam Sacksen and Dennis Bowsher were both offered bids by the UIPM, modern pentathlon's world governing body. Since one man was already on the squad, only one other slot was already available. The U.S. used World Cup rankings to determine who would be on the squad and who would be named alternate. Bowsher appealed the decision but his claim was denied.[81]

Swimming
The United States Olympic Team Trials were held on June 29 – July 6 in Omaha, Nebraska. The U.S. will send two people in each individual discipline and up to six people for the 4x100 freestyle relays and 4x200 freestyle relays.[86] On August 1, Jessica Hardy, who had qualified in the 100 meter breaststroke and the 50 meter freestyle, withdrew from the Olympic team after failing an anti-doping test at the national trials. Hardy opted to pull out rather than contesting the test results at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.[87]
