Malta at the 1960 Summer Paralympics

Malta participated in the inaugural Paralympic Games in 1960 in Rome. The country sent four representatives (three men and a woman) to compete in athletics, snooker and table tennis. Each of them won a medal in his or her event. Malta won more medals than at any other edition of the Paralympic Games, and won its only silver medals to date; it would win bronze, at best, in subsequent Games.[1]

gollark: It's just such a *government* solution to something which isn't very problematic. Some people wanted to wake up at different times or whatever, so instead of shifting working hours or something they decided to meddle with the fabric of time.
gollark: Good for you. The UK has it and it's so annoying.
gollark: That way you avoid daylight saving issues and stuff.
gollark: All servers should be set to UTC all the time.
gollark: It probably should just error instead of timing out infinitely.
