Summer Paralympics appearances

Malta participated in the 1964 Summer Paralympics in Tokyo, Japan. The country sent a delegation of two male athletes. C. Markham competed in both athletics (shot put) and snooker, while G. Portelli competed in snooker.[1]

In the shot put (B category), Markham finished fourth (out of five contenders), with a throw of 6.40m. W. Prossl took gold for Germany, with a world record throw of 7.69m.[2]

In snooker, the two Maltese competitors finished joint third, each winning bronze, while Michael Shelton took the gold medal for Great Britain.[3]

Malta's two bronze medals constitute its second best result at the Paralympics to date, after its silver and two bronze in 1960.[4]

Malta did not participate in the 1964 Summer Olympics, also held in Tokyo.[5]
