The Winter Paralympics are a major international multi-sport event held every four years for athletes with physical disabilities to compete in various snow and ice sports. Uganda competed at the inaugural Winter Paralympic Games in 1976 in ÃÂrnsköldsvik, Sweden.
Uganda was the only African country to take part in the 1976 Games, and thus the first African country ever to compete at the Winter Paralympics. Uganda was also the only country to compete at the 1976 Winter Paralympics but not at the 1976 Winter Olympics.
Uganda entered only one athlete, Tofiri Kibuuka, who competed in cross-country skiing. He did not win any medals. Kibuuka would later change nationalities, and go on to represent Norway at the Summer Paralympics at the 1984, 1988 and 1992 Games.
Uganda's sole representative, Tofiri Kibuuka, competed in two events.
