Ethiopia was one of 28 nations to send a delegation to the 1968 Summer Paralympics in Tel Aviv, Israel from November 4 to 13, 1968; two Ethiopian athletes competed, both of them men.[1][2] Abraham Habte and Negatu[n 1] each took part in both athletics and table tennis events.[3] The team did not win any medals at these Games and, as of the 2010 Winter Paralympics, no Ethiopian athlete has won a medal at either the Summer or Winter Paralympics.[4]
Opening ceremony
Ethiopia entered the stadium during the Open Ceremonies ahead of Finland.[5]
Athletics
Negatu entered five athletics events; club throw C, shot put C, javelin C, the open precision javelin and 100 metres wheelchair C.[3] He failed to advance to the finals in any of the events finishing 17th in the 100 metres, 38th in the club throw with a distance of 20.46 metres, 32nd in javelin with a throw of 12.90 metres, 65th in precision javelin with a score of 65 and 22nd in the shot put with a throw of 6.01 metres.[3]
