The medal table of the 2024 Summer Paralympics ranks the participating National Paralympic Committees (NPCs) by the number of gold medals that were won by their athletes during the competition. The 2024 Paralympics was the seventeenth Games to be held, a quadrennial competition open to athletes with physical and intellectual disabilities. The games were held in Paris, France from 28 August to 8 September 2024. There were 549 medal events.

Mauritius, Nepal and the Refugee Paralympic Team won their first Paralympic medals.[1][2] As of 2024, Nepal has not yet won an Olympic medal.

Judo, table tennis and taekwondo awarded two bronze medals per discipline - the table tennis to losing semi-finalists, and the two combat sports by a repechage system whereby defeated athletes up to the semi-final stage rejoin competition for a bronze medal.

Medals

Paris 2024 president Tony Estanguet unveiled the Olympic and Paralympic medals for the Games in February 2024, which on the obverse featured embedded hexagon-shaped tokens of scrap iron that had been taken from the original construction of the Eiffel Tower, with the Games logo engraved into it.[3] Approximately 5,084 medals would be produced by the French mint Monnaie de Paris, and were designed by Chaumet, a luxury jewellery firm based in Paris.[4]

The reverse of the medals contains a design of the Eiffel Tower viewed from below, inscriptions in braille (a writing system whose development has been credited to French educator and inventor Louis Braille), and line patterns that can be used to identify the medals by touch.[5][6] Each medal weighs 455–529 g (16–19 oz), has a diameter of 85 mm (3.3 in) and is 9.2 mm (0.36 in) thick.[7] The gold medals are made with 98.8 percent silver and 1.13 percent gold, while the bronze medals are made up with copper, zinc, and tin.[8]

Medal table

Two silver medals were awarded for a second-place tie in the Men's 50m Freestyle - S11, and no bronze medal was awarded. Two bronze medals were awarded for a third-place tie in the Men's High Jump - T64. After an incident during the final race, two bronze medals were also awarded in athletics for the women's T63 100m sprint.

Neutral Paralympic Athletes

Neutral Paralympic Athletes was the name used to represent approved Russian and Belarusian athletes at the 2024 Summer Paralympics, after the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) banned the nations' previous designations due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Neutral athletes competed under a white flag featuring black lettering spelling out NPA. The flag’s use was limited to TV and sports presentation graphics and during medal ceremonies. Medal wins were not recorded on the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games medals table and when a neutral athlete won a gold medal, the Paralympic anthem was played, but their medal was not added to the official medals table.[9]
