Seychelles competed at the 1992 Summer Paralympics in Barcelona, Spain, making their Paralympic Games debut. The country sent a two sportspeople strong delegation that included athlete Elvis Victor and swimmer Cyrl Charles. Neither sportsperson won a medal, and Seychelles would not compete at another Paralympic Games until the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio.
The country made their Paralympic Games debut at the 1992 Games in Barcelona. Following these Games, they would be absent from the Paralympics until the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio.[1] Seychelles Paralympic participation contrasts to its participation in Special Olympics's World Games. The country sent 31 competitors to the 1999 World Games and 34 to the 2003 Games. It also contrasts to the Deaflympics, where Seychelles has never sent a team.[2]
