The country has competed in every edition of the Summer Paralympics since then, and made its Winter Paralympics début at the 2010 Winter Paralympics in Vancouver, with a single representative in alpine skiing.[1]
Bosnia and Herzegovina has won four Paralympic medals, all in men's sitting volleyball: silvers in 2000,2008 and in 2016,and two golds in 2004 and 2012.[2]
