Argentina at the Paralympics
Argentina participated in the inaugural Paralympic Games in 1960 in Rome, with a delegation consisting in five swimmers, and has taken part in every edition of the Summer Paralympics since then. The country made its Winter Paralympics début in 2010, with a two-man delegation in alpine skiing. Argentines have won a total of 146 medals at the Paralympic Games, of which 30 gold, 59 silver and 57 bronze. All of these medals were won at the Summer Games. This places Argentina 30th on the all-time Paralympic Games medal table. Argentines won two gold medals in swimming in 1960. In 1964, four of their six gold medals also came through swimming, the other two being obtained in athletics and weightlifting. In 1968, Argentines won ten gold medals, of which nine in athletics and only one in swimming. These nine athletics medals were all won in javelin, shot put, club throw or discus events, and eight of them were won by women. Wikipedia
