Iraq at the 2008 Summer Olympics

Iraq participated in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing with two athletes in part, including a woman. For five other athletes in the sports of archery, weightlifting, rowing and judo, the reporting deadlines were already expired.

Iraq may - contrary to earlier announcements - participate in the games. The Iraqi government had arranged with a decree of 20 May 2008, the resolution of the National Olympic Committee. This encroachment on the autonomy of the national committee led early June to suspend the Iraqi NOC by the IOC. On July 29, it was decided that the athletes may participate after all.
