Answer:
The country that hosted the memorable 2008 Summer Olympics was China.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2008 Olympic Games were held in Beijing, capital of the People's Republic of China, between August 8 and 24, 2008.
The sporting event featured 302 events in 28 sports in which some 10,942 athletes from 204 national Olympic committees participated. In addition to Beijing, some other cities in China held sporting events. The soccer tournament was held in the cities of Qinhuangdao, Tianjin, Shenyang and Shanghai, while sailing regattas and equestrian events were held in the ports of Qingdao and Hong Kong, respectively.
The 2008 Olympic Games became the most expensive event in Olympic history, reaching a cost that exceeded 44 billion dollars, almost tripling the final budget of his predecessor, the Athens 2004 Olympic Games.
