Athletics at the 2008 Summer Olympics
were held during the last 10 days of the games, from August 15 to August 24, 2008, at the Beijing National Stadium
. The Olympic sport of athletics is split into four distinct sets of events: track and field
events, road running
events, and racewalking events.
Both men and women had very similar schedules of events. Men competed in 24 events and women in 23, as their schedule lacked the 50 km race walk. In addition, both the men's 110 m hurdles and decathlon
are reflected in the women's schedule by the 100 m hurdles and heptathlon
, respectively.
The Olympic record was broken in 17 returning events. In five events, including the inaugural women's 3000 m steeplechase, the world record was broken.
The athletics was, alongside the Olympic cycling events
, one of the few large sports programmes in which the host nation fared comparatively poorly in terms of medals won. Despite a haul of 100 medals at the games as a whole, Chinese athletes took home two bronze medal
s from the athletics events. The country's foremost athlete Liu Xiang
, the 2004 Olympic champion in the 110 metres hurdles
, had to withdraw after a false start due to injury.
