Summer Paralympics appearances (overview)

Uganda sent a delegation to compete at the 1976 Summer Paralympics in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The country entered only one athlete, who competed in athletics. He did not win a medal.[1]

Uganda competed in the Paralympics, but not in the 1976 Summer Olympics,[2] as it took part in the African boycott of that year's Summer Games.

It was to be Uganda's last appearance at the Summer Paralympics before 1996.

Athletics[edit]

O. Obadiya (full name not recorded) was Uganda's only representative, and competed in the men's javelin throw (C category). He finished 15th out of 23, with a throw of 32.18m.[3]
