Friendships forged in gold at Paris Paralympics

From Athens 2004 to Paris 2024, China's Paralympic delegation has maintained its dominance in six consecutive Summer Games, winning the highest number of gold medals each time and retaining the top spot in the overall medal tally.

As the flame of this summer's Paralympic Games flickered out on Sunday in the French capital, signaling the end of more than 10 days of intense competition, Team China concluded its campaign with 94 gold, 76 silver and 50 bronze medals, setting multiple world records.

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council sent a congratulatory message to the team for its outstanding performance, which was hailed as "dual success" in terms of competitive skills and sportsmanship. The message said that such remarkable success had brought honor to the nation, and it conveyed warm regards on behalf of the Party and the government.
