Approximately 11,028 athletes from 204 National Olympic Committees ( NOC ) participated. Overall, 302 events in 28 sports were held ; 165 events were opened to men, 127 were opened to women and 10 were mixed events. In total there was one more event than in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. Nine new events were held, including two from the new cycling discipline of BMX. Women competed in the 3000 metre steeplechase for the first time. Marathon open water swimming events for men and women, over the distance of 10 kilometres, were added to the swimming discipline. Team events ( men and women ) in table tennis replaced the doubles events. In fencing, women 's team foil and women 's team sabre replaced men 's team foil and women 's team épée. Two sports were open only to men, baseball and boxing, while one sport and one discipline were open only to women, softball and synchronized swimming. Equestrian is the only sport in which men and women compete together in the same events. Baseball and softball may have made their last appearances in Olympics history during these Games, as the International Olympic Committee voted to remove them from the programme of the 2012 Olympics. A total of 958 medals for events ( 302 gold, 303 silver and 353 bronze ) were awarded. In boxing, judo, taekwondo and wrestling, two bronze medals are awarded in each weight class. Therefore, the total number of bronze medals is greater than the total number of gold or silver medals. Additionally there were ties for a silver medal and two bronze medals. A total of 1,881 individual athletes won medals. Chinese athletes won the most gold medals with 48 ( 100 total ), and the United States won the most total medals with 110 ( including 36 gold ).

Athletes from Mongolia ( Naidangiin Tüvshinbayar -- judo, men 's 100 kg ), and Panama ( Irving Saladino -- athletics, men 's long jump ) won their nations ' first gold medal. American swimmer Michael Phelps was the most successful athlete, winning eight gold medals and setting a new record for most golds won in a single edition of the Olympics ( the previous record, seven, had been set in 1972 by Mark Spitz ). Phelps also set a new record for most career gold medals ( 14 ), and his 16 total medals were ranked second all - time behind Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina ( 18 ) at the time. In 2012 Phelps set a record for most total medals.

Although the official opening of the Games was on 8 August 2008, football matches were held beginning on 6 August. ^ Note 2. The fencing programme included six individual events and four team events, though the team events were a different set than were held in 2004. The International Fencing Federation 's rules call for events not held in the previous Games to receive automatic selection and for at least one team event in each weapon to be held. Voting is conducted to determine the fourth event. In 2004, the three men 's team events and the women 's épée were held. Thus, in 2008, the women 's foil and sabre events and men 's épée were automatically selected. Men 's sabre was chosen over foil by a 45 -- 20 vote. References General `` Results and Medalists ''.
