Paris Paralympics 2024: medal table
About the medal table
As is traditional, the table prioritises the number of gold medals won. On this basis in 2021, China led the Paralympics field with 96 golds, with Great Britain second on 41 and the United States third with 37. If countries have the same number of gold medals, the order is then dictated by which has the most silvers, and finally bronze if the numbers are still identical.
Paralympics GB are hoping for a similar haul in Paris as at the delayed Tokyo event, where they won 124 medals. UK Sport has set a target of 100-140 medals. The USA team improved from fourth in 2016 to third in the Tokyo 2021 medal table and will have their eyes on battling Britain for second place. The host nation, France, is hoping for 20 gold medals, which would be a big improvement on the 11 won in Japan.
