Highlights
Finland participated in the inaugural Paralympic Games in Rome in 1960 with one athlete, swimmer Tauno VALKAMA, who won gold in his only event (50m crawl). The Finns missed 1964, but returned to the Games in 1968 and have attended every one since. In 2004, they won eight medals - the first time since 1972 that they had won fewer than 10.
