Paris 2024 Paralympic Games: Congratulations ParalympicsGB!
This National Inclusion Week, we celebrate ParalympicsGB athletes and how they transform attitudes around disability through their achievements at the Paralympic Games.
The Paralympic Games in Paris were spectacular, filled with unforgettable moments, emotional roller coasters and world class performances. ParalympicsGB shone throughout, bringing back a remarkable 124 medals, including 49 gold, 44 silver and 31 bronze.
We are proud of our partnership with ParalympicsGB because it reflects both our pursuit of excellence and our passion for inclusion.
Over the past few years, we have had the privilege of following and interacting with several athletes across various disciplines, sharing their excitement as they trained and prepared for the Games.
Jody Cundy, a Para Cyclist, joined us for an online workshop last February. Jody went on to win gold in Paris in the mixed team sprint, marking his eighth medal in eight Paralympic Games.
Jaco van Gass, another Para Cyclist and guest speaker at our UKREiiF reception in May, brought back two gold medals.
Lauren Rowles, Paralympic rowing champion, shared her physical and mental preparation with us in the lead-up to the Games through four exclusive videos. Lauren made history by winning her third gold medal in three consecutive Games.
We were particularly thrilled to see athletes who have joined us at events in previous years take the podium at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games:
Hannah Cockroft added two gold medals to her collection, reaching an impressive total of nine Paralympic gold medals.
Emma Wiggs won another gold in paracanoe, along with a silver medal.
Alice Tai, Para swimmer, brought back five medals from Paris, including 2 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze.
Amy Truesdale realised her dream of becoming a Taekwondo Paralympic champion by winning gold in Paris, building on her bronze in Tokyo.
Dame SarahStorey remained Britain’s most decorated Paralympian, winning two more Paralympic titles in Paris, bringing her total to 19 gold medals across two sports.
Charlotte Henshaw, five time Paralympian and double paracanoe Paralympic champion in Paris 2024.
David Smith, five time Paralympian and ParalympicsGB’s most decorated Boccia player.
Amy Conroy, who represented ParalympicsGB at her fourth Paralympic Games in the women’s wheelchair basketball team.
Huge congratulations to all the ParalympicsGB athletes for making those Games so memorable and driving social inclusion beyond the field of play.
