Samoa at the 2012 Summer Paralympics

Milo Toleafoa competed in the men's 400m T38 (cerebral palsy, with a comparatively low level of disability).^[2] Toleafoa is a T37 athlete, with a somewhat greater level of disability, but there was no specific T37 event in the 400 metres.^[5] Toleafoa was the flag bearer for the opening ceremonies.^[6] In heat 2, he finished fourth out of five, in 1:09.97 - almost fifteen seconds behind the top three athletes, but more than four seconds ahead of Timor-Leste's Filomeno Soares.^[7]

Leitu Viliamu competed in the women's shot put F42-44 (lower limb amputee). She is a T42 athlete, with a greater degree of disability than some of the other competitors, but this is factored into the scoring.^[2] Her best throw was 5.32 metres, earning her 257 points; she finished a distant sixth and last.^[8]
