China goes to 200

Paris 2024

The number speaks volumes about China's dominance at the Paralympic Games, not just at Paris 2024. By winning the women's shot put F43 final on Tuesday, September 3 at the Stade de France, China's Zou Lijuan (pictured above) won China's 200th gold medal in para athletics since its first victory in the discipline at the 1984 Paralympic Games, held at two separate venues, New York in the United States and Stoke Mandeville in Great Britain. I am even happier about this mark of history than winning a gold medal for myself., Zou Lijuan was quoted as saying by the agency Xinhua. This result is the result of the government's interest in people with disabilities and the athletes' spirit of perseverance.. » China has won the Paralympic medal table continuously since Athens 2004 and will undoubtedly continue its run at Paris 2024. As of Wednesday evening, with four days to go, it already had 135 medals, including 62 gold, almost double the number of victories as second-placed Great Britain (33).
