Colombia at the 2008 Summer Olympics

Colombia competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics. The country sent 68 athletes to compete in 15 sports (archery, athletics, boxing, rowing, cycling, equestrian, artistic gymnastics, judo, weightlifting, wrestling, swimming, taekwondo, and table tennis), making this Colombia's largest ever delegation to the Olympics.

Originally, Colombia left Beijing with two medals, a silver and a bronze won by weightlifter Diego Salazar and wrestler Jackeline Rentería respectively. Weightlifter Leydi Solís originally finished fourth, but was promoted to a silver medal after both gold and bronze medalist of the 69 kg category were disqualified following a positive anti-doping test of their respective 2008 samples. She received her medal in december 2017.

Archery
Colombia sent archers to the Olympics for the third time and first since 1992; the nation sought its first Olympic medal in the sport. Colombia qualified a full team of three women by placing ninth in the women's team event at the 2007 World Archery Championships (because host China took seventh, nine teams were taken instead of the usual eight). The team that Colombia sent to the Olympics was the same that competed at the Worlds: Sigrid Romero, Ana Rendón, and Natalia Sánchez.
