Paralympics in Atlanta, competing in track and field and
powerlifting. In the same year, the National Paralympic Committee
was established.
Since 1996, national paralympians have taken part in many
international competitions and six Paralympic Games. They enriched

gold, 4 silver, and 6 bronze.

Valiyeva and Said Najafzade, proudly represented their countries by
waving their national flags during the official country parade at
the closing ceremony of the Summer Paralympic Games.
