Kenya made its Paralympic Games début at the 1972 Summer Paralympics in Heidelberg, Germany. The country sent four representatives (all men) to compete in archery, athletics, snooker and swimming.
Kenya won a single medal - a gold in swimming. Of the thirty-six medals Kenya has won (as of 2010) at the Paralympic Games, this was not only the first but also the only one not to be won in athletics.[1]
