Bolivia at the 2008 Summer Olympics
Bolivia sent seven athletes (four men and three women) to the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. They competed in five sports: track and field, cycling, shooting, swimming, and weightlifting. Most of the team came from Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Bolivia did not win any medals at these Games, and, up to that point, had never won an Olympic medal. The flag bearer was trap shooter César Menacho.
