Summer Paralympics appearances (overview)

Botswana was disqualified from participating in the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing. Tshotlego Morama, who had won gold in the women's 400m sprint in the T46 disability category at the Athens Paralympics, was the country's sole representative.[1] However, Morama had to withdraw from the competition due to injury, and the athletes that had been submitted as replacements failed to meet the qualifying criteria having not participated international events.[2]
