Laos at the Paralympics

Laos made its Paralympic Games début at the 2000 Summer Paralympics in Sydney, sending just two representatives to compete in powerlifting. They ranked poorly, and the country did not participate in the next edition of the Games in 2004. Laos made its return to the Paralympics in 2008, with powerlifter Eay Simay as its sole competitor. Simay -greatly improving on his performance from 2000- won the country's first Paralympic medal, a bronze, by lifting 157.5 kg in the men's up to 48 kg category.[1]

gollark: Is there even a model of ethics humans have which doesn't eventually produce terrible results?
gollark: UTCish, 16:00ish to 23:00ish.
gollark: They could at least use 0 AM for midnight and it'd actually be consistent.
gollark: 12-hour time is very silly because 12 AM/PM should be 0.
gollark: It's the correct time system, you utter person.
