The selection process in 2008 was the same as it is each year. Every country has a National Taekwondo organization, often referred to as the NGB (National Governing Body), or GNB (Governing National Body) which is recognized by the National Olympic Committee in each country. Athletes participate in State and National Olympic Championships, and then compete in the National Team Trials. After that, they compete in the National Olympic qualifiers to earn a spot on the team. These events are scheduled at various times in each country, and the dates are posted in advance on the website for the World Taekwondo Federation's member National Associations in each country.
