The Netherlands competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, People's Republic of China. This was announced in an official statement on the NOC*NSF website.[http://www.sport.nl/osbeijing/deolympischespelen/statementnocnsfbeijing2008/ Statement NOC*NSF Beijing 2008], sport.nl {{in lang|nl}} In the statement they named the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games as a highlight in sports to which a lot of sportspeople, coaches and the Dutch sports fans would look forward. The Netherlands aimed for a top 10 nations ranking in the Olympics as well as a top 25 ranking in the Paralympics; they ended up ranking 12th at the Games.

Further in the statement they announced that they were aware of the political discussions about human rights and other issues in the People's Republic of China and that they encouraged these discussions, but that they would only participate in sports related discussions. They say individual sportspeople, coaches and managers might have their own opinions about the issues but these would always be conveyed as personal opinions deriving from their own social views. They believe sports activities do have the opportunity to positively influence the situation in the People's Republic of China when it comes to implementing the sports rules correctly as well as in situations improving the levels of respect, solidarity and fair play in sports.

There were 243 athletes representing the Netherlands.[http://www.sport.nl/osbeijing/nederlandsolympischteam/desporters/ De sporters], NOC*NSF Netherlands Olympics Team list {{in lang|nl}} 15 in athletics, 24 in baseball, 2 in canoeing, 27 in cycling, 8 in equestrian, 2 in fencing, 32 in field hockey, 18 in football, 2 in gymnastics, 10 in judo, 30 in rowing, 12 in sailing, 15 in softball, 21 in swimming, 3 in table tennis, 1 in taekwondo, 2 in triathlon, 6 in volleyball and 13 in water polo. 61 different athletes won a medal, which is 25.10% of all athletes. With a gold and a silver medal Anky van Grunsven was the only multiple medalist. The athletes that qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics are listed below.[http://www.sport.nl/osbeijing/nederlandsolympischteam/gekwalificeerden/ Gekwalificeerden], sport.nl {{in lang|nl}}

* The athlete who finished in second place, Lyudmila Blonska of Ukraine, tested positive for a banned substance.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics/athletics/7571867.stm |title= Blonska thrown out of long jump |access-date=2008-08-21 |publisher=BBC Sport |date=2008-08-21 }} Both the A and the B tests were positive, therefore Blonska was stripped of her silver medal, and Keizer moved up a position.

Judo

To qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics Dutch judokas were required to meet both the international (set by the IOC and IJF) and the Dutch criteria (set by the NOC*NSF).[http://www.sport.nl/content/pdf/207223/587074/558899/Judo_summary.pdf IOC and IJF – Judo criteria], sport.nl[http://www.sport.nl/content/pdf/207223/587074/558915/judo.pdf NOC*NSF – Judo criteria], sport.nl {{in lang|nl}}

On 26 January 2008, Elisabeth Willeboordse was the first judoka to secure her spot in Beijing. She proved to remain among the world's top ranked judokas by winning her fifth consecutive World Cup in Sofia.[http://www.nusport.nl/20080126/olympische-spelen/willeboordse-zeker-van-spelen Willeboordse zeker van Spelen], nu.nl {{in lang|nl}} Two days later Edith Bosch qualified by reaching the final of the World Cup in Sofia.[http://www.sporttribune.nl/pagina/os2008/18175 Edith Bosch verzekert zich van de Spelen], sporttribune.nl {{in lang|nl}} On 9 February World Champion Ruben Houkes secured his spot by finishing in the top 7 in the Super World Cup in Paris.[http://www.sportweek.nl/overige/50692/Houkes_zeker_van_Olympische_Spelen Houkes zeker van Olympische Spelen], sportweek.nl {{in lang|nl}} The next day Mark Huizinga qualified for his fourth consecutive Olympics as he finished in fifth position at the same event in Paris.[http://www.judoinside.com/ned/?today/view/2375 Huizinga plaatst zich voor Spelen], judoinside.com {{in lang|nl}}

Softball

The qualification criteria for softball were the same as the international standards. Reaching the semifinals in the 2006 World Championships was an automatic qualification to compete in the Games in Beijing. The Dutch team did not reach the semifinals, and had to enter the African/European qualification tournament to secure their spot.[http://www.sport.nl/content/pdf/207223/587074/558899/Softball_summary.pdf IOC and ISF – Softball criteria], sport.nl[http://www.sport.nl/content/pdf/207223/587074/558915/2895278 NOC*NSF – Softball criteria], sport.nl {{in lang|nl}}[http://www.xs4all.nl/~catcher/r-nedita-sbokt-160607e.htm Dutch qualify for Beijing], xs4all.nl Grand Slam Stats & News
