The 215-member GB team easily met the UK Sport objective of 100-140, taking second place in the medal standings behind China with 124 medals (49 gold, 44 silver, and 31 bronze).
Both on and off the playing field, Paris has been an amazing Games for ParalympicsGB, Brigscoe told Sport.
Here in Paris for the Games, the athletes and staff have had an amazing time. We couldn’t be more excited to return home, in my opinion.
Some of the top statistics from the Games have been compiled by Sport.
Great Britain earned eight more gold medals in Paris, matching their entire medal haul from three years ago in Tokyo.
Actually, Paralympics GB’s total of 49 gold medals is the most since Rio 2016, when they won 64 gold medals, and the second-highest since Seoul 1988, when they earned 65.
With one exception—London 2012—Great Britain has placed second in the medal table at every summer Paralympics since the turn of the century.
During the Paris Games, over half of the 215 athletes in the squad finished on the podium.
