Romania made its Paralympic Games début at the 1972 Summer Paralympics in Heidelberg, sending a single representative (Alex Peer) to compete in table tennis. He was eliminated in his first match. The country was then absent from the Paralympics until the 1996 Summer Games, where it was again represented by a single competitor (Aurel Berbec in powerlifting). Romania was represented again by just one athlete in 2000, and two in 2004, but sent a larger delegation of five athletes to the 2008 Summer Games.[1][2] Its most recent participation in the Paralympics was also its first in the Winter Games, in 2010. Its sole representative was Laura Valeanu, who entered two events in alpine skiing.[2]
Cyclist Eduard Novak is the only Romanian to have won a Paralympic medal, a silver in 2008,[3][2] and a silver and a gold medal at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London. Romanian judoka Alex Bologa won a bronze medal at 2016 Summer Paralympics.
