there are no new sports to be introduced in 2008 Olympics. But there are nine new events to be held, 2 events in a new cycling disclipine of BMX, marathon swimming for men and women, team events will replaced mens and womens double in table tennis. women 3000M steeplechase will first run in the games and finally women team sabre and foil will replace mens team foil and womens team epee.

there will be no demo sports as well. Chinese ancient sport, wushu was supposed to be a demonstration sport in 2008 Olympics but IOC decided to let China hold a separate international wushu tournament during the Games and to be called 2008 Beijing Olympic Games Wushu tournament.
