Vietnam made its Paralympic Games debut at the 2000 Summer Paralympics in Sydney, with just two competitors: in the women's 800m sprint (T54 category) in athletics, and in the men's up to 52 kg category in powerlifting. The country's delegation in 2004 was slightly larger, and entirely composed of women, with a female sprinter, two female powerlifters and a female swimmer. In 2012, Vietnam fielded its largest delegation to date, with eleven athletes across three sports: track and field, powerlifting and swimming.[1][2]
Vietnam has never taken part in the Winter Paralympics. The country has won one gold medal and one bronze medal.[1]
