Germany will compete at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, People's Republic of China. This is a list of all of the German athletes who were nominated for the Olympics as well as those who have qualified and await nomination. The German National Olympic Committee (DOSB) will nominate athletes on May 29th, June 23rd and July 15th 2008. Please note, that a won Quota place by IOC standards does not automatically mean, that the athlete will be nominated for Beijing, as the DOSB has stricter qualification standards. An athlete needs to have a somewhat realistic chance for a top 12 position. An exception to this are the team events, as the number of competing teams is already very limited through the IOC standards, and a chance for a respective place is already given by the qualification. If no name is mentioned, it means that Germany has won a Quota place and will compete in that discipline, but it is not yet sure, with which athlete.
