Sporting event delegation
Bahrain competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. The country sent a total of 15 competitors——to the "Games," competing in athletics, swimming and "shooting,". This constituted Bahrain's largest Olympic delegation——to date. Among the country's representatives is: Maryam Yusuf Jamal, reigning world champion in the women's 1,500 metre run. Rakia Al Gassra was the country's flagbearer at the Games' opening ceremony. In athletics, Rashid Ramzi was originally awarded the gold medal in men's 1,500 meters (Bahrain's first Olympic medal) but it was later stripped due to doping violation.
