Sudan sent a delegation to compete at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Nine competitors, all from the Darfur region and northern Sudan, represented Sudan at the Beijing games.
The athletes' transport, training and equipment costs were mostly met by the British embassy in Khartoum, and by British charities.
Sudan obtained one medal at the Beijing Games, when Ismail Ahmed Ismail took silver in the men's 800 metres race in athletics. This was Sudan's first and to date only medal at an Olympic Games.
