Competitions in open water swimming at a distance of 10 km at the 2008 Olympics were held on August 20 in the Shunyi Olympic rowing park . In this discipline, Olympic medals were played for the first time. Gold was won by the start favorite 3-time world champion at this distance (2006, 2007 and 2008) 19-year-old Russian Larisa Ilchenko. This was the only gold won by the Russian team in all swimming disciplines at the Games in Beijing. The second and third place was taken by swimmers from the UK.
24-year-old South African Natalie du Tua , whose left leg was amputated knee-deep in 2001 as a result of an accident, took 16th place among 25 participants.
