Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Djibouti took part in the 2008 Summer Olympics, which were held in Beijing, China from 8 to 24 August 2008.[1] The country's participation at Beijing marked its sixth appearance in the Summer Olympics since its debut in 1984.[1] The Djibouti delegation included two athletes in 2008; Mahamoud Farah, a middle-distance runner, and Fathia Ali Bouraleh, a sprinter. Hussein Ahmed Salah, Djibouti's only Olympic medalist, was selected as the flag bearer for both the opening and closing ceremonies despite not competing in 2008.[2] None of the Djiboutian athletes progressed further than the heat round.[3]
