Finland participated in the inaugural Winter Paralympic Games in 1976 in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden.

This was the second largest delegation at the Örnsköldsvik Games, behind West Germany's - larger than that of the host country.

[1][2] Previously, Finland had competed at three editions of the Summer Paralympics (in 1960, 1968 and 1972), and had fared modestly, with a total of four medals (of which one gold).

The country's performance at the inaugural Winter Games was thus a significant improvement, revealing Finland as a major Winter Paralympics power.
