Bids for the 2008 Summer Olympics
Ten cities submitted bids to host the 2008 Summer Olympics and Paralympics that were recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), five of which made the IOC Executive Committee's shortlist.

In that bidding process, which chose the host city for the 2000 Summer Olympics, Beijing led every round of voting but lost in
