The country has competed in every Summer Games since and made its first appearance in the Winter Paralympics in 2002.[1] Chile won its first Paralympic gold medal at the 2012 London Games, when Cristian Valenzuela won the men's 5000 meters T11 event.[2] In recent years, swimmer Alberto Abarza has also contributed to Chile’s medal tally, with a notable performance at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
