As early as in the Republic of China period, China participated in the Olympic Games for 3 times, in all of which Tsinghua profes-sionals took part in the organization jobs. In the 1950s, president JIANG Nan-xiang put forward such an opinion as that “university is a place that gives birth to sports professionals”. In 2008 Tsinghua student athletes participated in competitions in Beijing Olympic Games. The Olympic path of Tsinghua University is the epitome of Chinese col-lege sports participating in the Olympic Games. The authors tried to clarify the Olympics participating track of Tsinghua University by reviewing and summarizing the Olympic history of Tsinghua University, and probed into the ways for universities in China to participate in the Olympic Games by referring to sports experiences of oversea universities. The authors expatiated on the lead athletes, sports venues, student cultivation conceptions as well as sports traditions and spirit of Tsinghua University in order to promote Chinese college sports to make greater con-tributions to the development of the Olympic Games.
