Singapore competed in the 2008 Summer Olympic Games[1] held in Beijing, People's Republic of China from 8 to 24 August 2008.
The following athletes have qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, although the final selection of names for some events may change are dependent on the relevant sports bodies, and all athletes require approval from the Singapore National Olympic Council.[2]
On 17 August 2008, Singapore won its first Olympic medal as an independent nation in the women's table tennis team event, 48 years after its first medal (then as a British colony) – also a silver – by Tan Howe Liang in the 1960 Summer Olympics.[3][4][5]
