Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

The Federated States of Micronesia sent a team of five athletes to compete at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.[1] The appearance of the delegation marked the third appearance by a Micronesians team at the Olympics since its debut at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.[2] Three male athletes (Jack Howard in athletics, Kerson Hadley in swimming and Manuel Minginfel in weightlifting) and two female athletes (Maria Ikelap in athletics and Debra Daniel in swimming) comprised the Olympic team. None of the track or swimming athletes advanced past the qualification round, and Minginfel placed second to last in his event. There has yet to be a medalist from the Federated States of Micronesia. Minginfel held the Micronesian flag in the opening ceremony.[3]
