Iraq competed in the 2008 Summer Olympics, held in Beijing, China, from August 8 to August 24, 2008. As of late July, seven Iraqis—two rowers, a weightlifter, a sprinter, a discus thrower, a judoka and an archer—had qualified to compete in seven events in five sports at the Beijing Olympics, and twenty have qualified to take part in the Beijing Paralympics (see Iraq at the 2008 Summer Paralympics). Thus, Iraq has four representatives: Haidar Nasir in the discus throw, Dana Hussein in sprinting, and Haidar Nozad and Hamzah Hussein Jebur in men's double scull.
