Like the Olympic Games, France set an ambitious medal target for the Paralympics. “The ambition is to reach the Top 8, to bring France into the Top 8 of Paralympic nations,” announced the president of the French Paralympic and Sports Committee (CPSF), Marie-Amélie Le Fur, on Monday, August 12, during an interview with franceinfo. This ambitious ranking had not been achieved by the French delegation since the Sydney Games in 2000 (7th, with 86 medals, including 30 gold). For reference, three years ago in Japan, France finished 14th with 55 medals, including 11 gold, 15 silver, and 29 bronze. The top three countries in the Tokyo Paralympic Games standings were China (207 medals, including 96 gold), Great Britain (124 medals, 41 gold), and the United States (104 medals, 37 gold).
During this Paralympic Games, France far exceeded their previous medal count, both in gold and total medals, firmly placing them within the top 8 nations.
