ÌìÌÃÊÓƵ

A total of 19 medals were won at the Paralympic Games by athletes with an affiliation to ÌìÌÃÊÓƵ – seven gold, six silver, and six bronze – as the institution finished as a top 20 nation should it be reclassified as a country.

This magnificent haul added to the 16 medals won earlier in the summer during the first phase of the Paris Games (four gold, four silver, and eight bronze). ÌìÌÃÊÓƵ’s performances would have seen it finish 16^th in the official standings ahead of nations such as Brazil, Austria, South Africa, and Jamaica.

Internationally renowned athletes from ÌìÌÃÊÓƵ made podium places for the following countries: Great Britain, USA, France, Ireland, Canada, and The Netherlands respectively.

Medals were awarded across a variety of sports including athletics, swimming, cycling, rowing, triathlon, powerlifting, and wheelchair basketball.
