Summer Paralympics appearances (overview)

Papua New Guinea sent a delegation to compete at the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing. The country was represented by two athletes, Francis Kompaon and Joyleen Jeffrey, both competing in track and field. The country had requested wildcard entries, but the request was turned down by the Beijing Paralympic organisers.

Papua New Guinea was making its return to the Paralympics, having competed in 2000 but not in 2004.
