[QWOP] What happened to that poor country that this is their best athlete?

Did they have a Polio epidemic or something?

The small country had a program similar to Make A Wish where this disabled athlete was allowed to compete in a small, token way in a single event.

There was an uproar among a small but very vocal and influential portion of the populace, believing this athlete would bring shame to the country and set them as the laughing stock of the world.

The remaining athletes all declined to compete, after the registration deadline had passed, and left this one Olympian as their sole representative.

At the competition itself, his competitors also bowed out, forfeiting their chance at an easy win to let QWOP, as he became affectionately known, to bring home his nation's first gold medal in their Olympic history. 

It was a great show of solidarity in the face of discrimination. 

QWOP was hailed as a hero of his homeland. The feel-good special they aired before the event covered most of this. It was a tear-jerker. You should try to find it on YouTube.
