Summer Paralympics appearances (overview)

Spain won 18 gold medals, 13 silver medals and 12 bronze medals.[1]

In 1988, Spain had competitors in archery, wheelchair basketball, swimming, weightlifting, shooting, table tennis and athletics.[1]

The 1988 Games were held in Seoul, South Korea.[2] The Games used the same venues as the Summer Olympics.[3] Competitors with spinal cord injuries, amputations, cerebral palsy, Les Autres and vision impairments were eligible to compete in these Games.[4]

Closing ceremonies

There were concerns that the number of medals awarded on the final day of competition would mean that competitors would not be able to attend the 1988 Games closing ceremonies where the flag of Spain was to be raised as the host of the next Games.[5]

Archery

One of Spain's bronze medals came in archery. It was won by an athlete with a physical disability.[1]
