Vietnam competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. It is the 13th summer games in which the nation has competed since its first appearance in 1952. Although it has sent a modest delegation every year it has competed, Vietnam had only earned one Olympic medal before Beijing (in 2000).[2] The Vietnam Olympic Committee sent thirteen athletes to compete in eight of the 28 Olympic sports.[3] It is the largest ever contingent for the nation, up from 11 in the 2004 games.[4]
