Template:Infobox Paralympics Zimbabwe Zimbabwe competed in the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing, China. The country's delegation consisted of two track and field athletes, Elliot Mujaji and Molene Muza. Mujaji is a two-time Paralympic gold medalist, having won the 100 metre T46 event in 2000 and 2004, while Muza will compete in the Paralympic Games for the first time. In the days leading up to the games, the pair trained at the National University of Science and Technology in Bulawayo under coach Remigio Mumbire, however a lack of money threatened to cut the training camp short. The group plans to leave for Beijing on 28 August and arrive two days later.[1]

Mujaji will compete in the men's 100 and 200 metre races, and Muza in the women's discus, javelin, and shot put.[1]
