argentines won two gold medals in swimming in 1960. in 1964, four of their six gold medals also came through swimming, the other two being obtained in athletics (women's shot put) and weightlifting. in 1968, in a reversal of this trend, argentines won ten gold medals, of which nine in athletics and only one in swimming (h. aresca in the men's 25m freestyle). these nine athletics medals were all won in javelin, shot put, club throw or discus events, and eight of them were won by women. in 1972, the argentine delegation was much less successful, with just one gold medal in athletics (in the men's javelin), and one in women's wheelchair basketball. in 1976, cristina benedetti won argentina's only athletics gold, in the slalom, while gustavo galindez took two gold medals in swimming. in 1980, it was once again swimming which brought argentina all four of its gold medals. the only time that argentina did not win medals was in 1984, and won 7 silvers and 2 bronze in 1988, when the country sent only small delegations, to compete in track and field. in 1992 the country's only paralympic champion was horacio bascioni, in the men's javelin. in 1996, nestor suarez won the men's 100m sprint in the t46 category, while swimmer betiana basualdo won the women's 100m freestyle in the s2 category, thus providing their country with two gold medals. these are argentina's most recent paralympic gold medals; since 1996, argentines have won only silver and bronze.
