The Boccia Individual BC3 event at the 2008 Summer Paralympics was held in the Olympic Green Convention Center on 7–9 September.[1]
The preliminary stages consisted of 6 round-robin groups of 4 competitors each. The winner of each group plus the two best second place players (decided from among those with two match victories by points difference) qualified for the final stages.
The event was won by Park Keon Woo, representing South Korea.

Boccia is similar to boules and is for wheelchair
users with cerebral palsy or related neurological
conditions. The aim is to throw or bowl game
balls so they land as close as possible to
the white jack.
At the Paralympics four years ago Portugal
dominated the sport, and in the final they
made a bright start taking the first end one
- nil. But Great Britain struck back in the
second thanks to this terrific throw from
Smith.
So after two ends, Great Britain led two-one,
and in the third Smith was at it again landing
what seemed to be a crucial blow. A moment
of suspense during the measure.
Four points and a six - one lead.
Portugal took the fourth end one - nil, but
then made an error in the fifth, allowing
Great Britain to take a huge eight - two lead
going into the final end.
From then on there seemed to be only one outcome.
Great Britain wrapping up the game, winning
by eight points to four. [Cheering]
So gold for Great Britain, and Lord Coe was
on hand to offer his congratulations during
the post-match celebrations.
