Uganda competed at the 1980 Winter Paralympics in Geilo, Norway. As in 1976, the country entered only one athlete, Tofiri Kibuuka, who competed in cross-country skiing, and who did not win any medals.[1] As in 1976, also, Uganda was the only African country to compete at the Games.[2] And as in 1976, Uganda was the only country to compete at the 1980 Winter Paralympics but not at the 1980 Winter Olympics.[3]
Uganda has not competed again at the Winter Paralympic Games since 1980, although it continues to compete in the Summer Paralympic Games.[4] The country's only Winter Paralympian, Tofiri Kibuuka, had acquired Norwegian nationality by 1984, and henceforth competed for Norway.[5]
