Paralympic history (summary)
Summer Games

Libya sent its largest ever delegation to the 2000 Summer Paralympics in Sydney, with three judokas, two powerlifters and a sitting volleyball team. The country's only female competitor, Ghazala M. Ali in powerlifting, was the first ever woman to represent Libya at the Paralympic Games.[1]

The 2000 Games saw Libya win its first (and so far only) Paralympic medal, when Abdelrahim Hamed took bronze in the men's over 100kg in powerlifting, lifting 235kg.[2]
