User:Jared/2008 events
Here is a list of all of the sports to be contested at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Use the names for future or past reference to gain consensus on titles. Based on the 2008 program schedule, I have listed all 302 events on this page. I have not assured accuracy in spelling or historic context in full, though. Each event was named given my own knowledge, the schedule, other Wikipedians' advice, and previous years' event titles.
