United States at the 2008 Summer Olympics

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 2,177 medals in total and 891 of them gold. 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. 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. 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.

The United States earned spots in Beijing for both men's and women's football by advancing to the finals of the CONCACAF Pre-Olympic Tournaments in March and April 2008. For the Olympic tournament, the full women's national team and the men's Under-23 team (augmented with up to three players over the age of 23) will be participating.

The 18-player roster for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Women's Soccer Team was announced on 23 June 2008. In the final match before the Olympics on 16 July, the US women's team lost leading scorer Abby Wambach after she broke her left leg in a collision with Brazilian defender Andreia Rosa. Lauren Cheney, originally selected as an alternate, will be replacing Wambach on the roster. The 18-player roster for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Men's Soccer Team was announced on 17 July 2008. After aggravating a hamstring injury, defender Nathan Sturgis was replaced by midfielder Dax McCarty on the Olympic roster 24 July 2008.

Artistic gymnastics

The United States qualified a full complement of six men and six women in artistic gymnastics. Two members of the U.S. men's gymnastics team, Paul Hamm and Jonathan Horton, were named at the conclusion of the Olympic Trials. The rest of the team was announced on Sunday, June 22. Because of the injury of his hand and shoulder, Paul Hamm withdrew from the Olympic team on July 28, 2008 and was replaced with alternate Raj Bhavsar. Additionally, Morgan Hamm withdrew from competition on August 7 because of an ankle injury, being replaced by Alexander Artemev.

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. The rest of the women's team was not named at the Trials, although Chellsie Memmel, Samantha Peszek and Alicia Sacramone were projected to be the on the team. This left one spot vacant. The complete team wasn't announced until the conclusion of the women's selection camp at the Karolyi Camp near Houston, Texas, on July 17.

Modern pentathlon

Main article: Modern pentathlon at the 2008 Summer Olympics

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.

Swimming

Main article: Swimming at the 2008 Summer Olympics

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. 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.

The USA Weightlifting trials were held on May 25 in Atlanta, Georgia. The initial team included seven competitors and two alternates. Casey Burgener was originally selected to lift at the +105kg event after the International Weightlifting Federation offered the United States a third men’s Olympic slot. The third slot never materialized, and the United States has not been placed on the start list for the +105 event.
