Greece is planning to send a team to compete at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, People's Republic of China. They are represented by the Hellenic Olympic Committee.

[edit] Archery

Greece will send archers to the Olympics for the third time, seeking the nation's first Olympic medal in the sport. Elpida Romantzi earned the country its first qualifying spot, in the women's competition, by placing 36th in the 2007 World Outdoor Target Championships.[1] Evangelia Psarra placed third at the European qualifying tournament, giving Greece a second spot in the women's individual competition.[2]

[edit] Boxing

Greece qualified two boxers for the Olympic boxing tournament. Both qualified at the second European continental qualifying tournament.[3]
