Judo

To qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics Dutch judokas were required to meet both the international (set by the IOC and IJF) and the Dutch criteria (set by the NOC*NSF).

On 26 January 2008, Elisabeth Willeboordse was the first judoka to secure her spot in Beijing. She proved to remain among the world's top ranked judokas by winning her fifth consecutive World Cup in Sofia. Two days later Edith Bosch qualified by reaching the final of the World Cup in Sofia. On 9 February World Champion Ruben Houkes secured his spot by finishing in the top 7 in the Super World Cup in Paris. The next day Mark Huizinga qualified for his fourth consecutive Olympics as he finished in fifth position at the same event in Paris.
