[edit] Archery

As the host nation, China automatically received a full complement of six quota spots (three for men, three for women) for the archery competitions. China's national selection competition resulted in Xue Haifeng, Jiang Lin and Li Wenquan taking the three men's spots, while Zhang Juanjuan, Chen Ling, and Guo Dan earned the women's spots.[1] Xue and Zhang are both veterans of the 2004 Games, with Zhang a member of the women's team that took the silver medal. That medal was China's fourth silver in archery; the Chinese archers will try to earn China's first gold in 2008.

[edit] Baseball

China received an automatic entry into the Olympic baseball tournament as the host nation, and will be represented by the China national baseball team.

[edit] Basketball

China received automatic bids for both men's and women's teams in basketball as the host nation.

[edit] Boxing

China qualified ten boxers for the Olympic boxing tournament, far surpassing its guaranteed quota of at least six spots. The flyweight class was the only in which China did not qualify a boxer. Seven of the ten Chinese qualifiers did so at the world championships.[2] Hu, Maimaitituersun, and Zhang Xiaoping qualified at the first Asian continental qualifying tournament.[3]
