Brazil’s Para athletes have been challenged to deliver a record haul of medals at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games and target a top eight finish in the table.
At Tokyo 2020, Brazil collected 72 medals, 22 of them gold, 20 silver and 30 bronze. Swimming and athletics athletes dominated, and the invincible blind footballers delivered again.
There was also a historic first goalball gold in the men’s event, the women’s Para powerlifting, Para judo and Para canoe.
