Shooting at the 2008 Summer Olympics
- Shooting at the 2008 Summer Olympics
Shooting competitions at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing were held from August 9 to August 17, at the Beijing Shooting Range Hall (rifle and pistol events) and Beijing Shooting Range Clay Target Field (shotgun events). Of the fifteen events, the host country won five.
Highlights included Kateřina Emmons equalling the world record with a perfect 400 in the women's air rifle competition, her husband Matthew losing a large lead in the very last shot of the men's three positions (just as he had in Athens four years earlier),
Abhinav Bindra winning India's first ever individual Olympic gold, Natalia Paderina and Nino Salukvadze friendly sharing the podium although their countries were at war, and Ralf Schumann winning his fifth Olympic medal.
The sport also faced its first major doping case, when Kim Jong-su of North Korea was stripped of his medals in 50 metre pistol and 10 metre air pistol after testing positive for propranolol, a beta blocker.
