Summer Paralympics appearances (overview) | |
Great Britain competed at the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, France, from 28 August to 8 September 2024. This was Great Britain's seventeenth consecutive time competing at the Summer Paralympic Games since the first Games in 1960. UK Sport set the team a target of winning between 100 and 140 medals at the event.[3][4]
The team was made up of athletes from the whole United Kingdom including Northern Ireland (whose people may elect to hold Irish citizenship and are able to be selected to represent either Great Britain or Ireland at the Paralympics).[5] Additionally some British overseas territories compete separately from Britain in Paralympic competition.
