Paris 2024 Paralympic Games: medal table | Paris 2024 Paralympic Games

About the medal table

As usual, the table prioritizes the number of gold medals won. Based on this, China led the 2021 Paralympic field with 96 gold medals, with Great Britain in second place with 41 and the United States in third with 37. If countries have the same number of gold medals, the order is determined by who has the most silver medals, and finally bronze if the numbers are still tied.

Paralympics GB are hoping for a similar haul in Paris to the postponed event in Tokyo, where they won 124 medals. UK Sport has set a target of 100-140 medals. The US team have climbed from fourth in 2016 to third in the Tokyo 2021 medal table and will be aiming to battle Great Britain for second place. Host nation France are hoping for 20 gold medals, which would be a big improvement on the 11 won in Japan.
