Final medal count at the 2024 Paralympics in Paris

The medal standings are completed after the 2024 Paralympics concluded, revealing the incredible performances of the world’s top para-athletes at the Paris Paralympic Games.

China dominates in front of GB and Team USA

Once again, as in the last Games at Tokyo, China appeared as the dominant force, compiling a remarkable 95 gold medals and a total of 222 medals, establishing itself as the leading nation in the comPetition.

Following closely behind, Great Britain secured 49 gold medals and 125 total medals, while Team USA claimed the third position in both gold medals with 36 and total medals with 105.

In which sports did China dominate at the Paralympic Games?

China’s impressive medal haul was mainly driven by its outstanding achievements in para track and field and para-swimming.

Their prowess was evident as they clinched 21 golds and 59 total medals in track and field and 22 golds and 54 total medals in swimming. If we focus solely on the gold medals from these two sports, China’s performance would trail only behind Great Britain’s.

Team USA performed exceptionally well in both track and field and in swimming, securing 10 gold medals in each sport. In para-track and field, the American athletes accumulated a total of 38 medals, while in para-swimming, they achieved 30 medals. In addition to these achievements, Team USA also secured gold medals in para-equestrian (5), para-cycling (4), para-triathlon (3), para archery (2), wheelchair basketball (1), and sitting volleyball (1).
