Georgia at the 2008 Summer Olympics

Georgia competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, People's Republic of China.

Georgia was represented in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games by 35 sportsmen and sportswomen in total of 11 different sporting events.

Georgian athletes won three gold, two silver, and three bronze medals during the games.

Beach
Both Georgian teams were composed of Brazilians who became Georgian citizens to compete in Olympic beach volleyball. The players' nicknames echoed the name of the country, the men in English ("Geor and "Gia"), and the women in Georgian ("Saka" and "Rtvelo"). Beach volleyball proved to be the most notable moment for the Georgian team when their women defeated Russian opponents.  The added notability to this game stemmed from the military conflict with Russia over South Ossetia.

The men were ranked seventeenth, and were playing in Pool C against pairs from Brazil, Australia and Angola. The women are ranked 23rd in the Olympic qualifying rankings, and were the last team to earn entry from the rankings list.
