Latvija paralimpiskajās spēlēs debitēja 1992. gadā, kad Barselonā startēja divi sportisti, bet pirmās medaļas latvieši izcīnīja 2000. gadā Sidnejā, kad Apinis izcīnīja trešo vietu lodes grūšanā un diska mešanā, bet Armands Ližbovskis bija trešais tāllēkšanā. Atēnu paralimpiskajās spēlēs Apinis triumfēja diska mešanā, bet Edgars Bergs izcīnīja otro vietu lodes grūšanā un trešo vietu diska mešanā. "
