Brasil de Fato<\/p>\n
Brazil ended its participation in the Paris Paralympics<\/a> among the top five countries on the medal table, beating its own podium record and celebrating the best ranking ever. There were 89 medals: 23 golds, 25 silvers and 38 bronzes. The country surpassed the number of golds in a single edition. The previous record \u2013 22 medals \u2013 was set in Tokyo 2020.<\/p>\n The Brazilian Paralympic Committee (CPB, in Portuguese)<\/a> expected these results<\/a>, which foresaw good numbers for this competition. In the last four editions, the country had been in the top ten, which gave the CPB an optimistic projection for this edition, according to Rafael Reis, a specialist in Paralympic sport and doctoral student at the Federal University of Paran\u00e1 (UFPR, in Portuguese).<\/p>\n \u201cThey worked with some figures, including for the financing of Paralympic sports. So, it was more or less what the committee expected,\u201d he says.\u00a0<\/p>\n In addition to the record number of podiums, Brazil celebrated two other historic achievements. The country beat the 200-medal mark in athletics, with Thiago Paulino’s silver in the weight throw; and 150 in swimming, also with a silver medal. The winner was swimmer Gabriel Bandeira, in the men\u2019s 100-meter backstroke. In total, Brazil returned home with 35 medals in swimming and 26 in athletics.\u00a0<\/p>\n Standing out in these two categories is an element that adds to Brazil\u2019s success at the 2024 Paralympic Games, as these sports have a large number of medals up for grabs.<\/p>\n However, in addition to the final number of podiums, a good performance in several categories is also an achievement, says Reis. Brazil sent 280 parathletes to the Games and made the podium in 16 of the 20 sports in which it competed. In the overall medal table, the country is behind China (219), Great Britain (124), the United States (104) and the Netherlands (55, with only one more gold than Brazil).<\/p>\n Reis says that, in addition to sporting success, the Paralympics have had an impact on spectators<\/a>, engaging them and raising discussions on social media. \u201cWe can see debates happening and we’re in a social media phenomenon, so this is very noticeable,\u201d he says. \u201cThis is the intangible legacy of the Games,\u201d the researcher believes.<\/p>\n Brazil is a powerhouse<\/p>\n Brazil cemented its place in the top ten at the Paralympics in Beijing 2008<\/a>, when the country won 47 podiums: 16 golds, 14 silvers and 17 bronzes.<\/p>\n In London 2012, the number of podiums decreased, but the number of golds increased, and the country came seventh on the medal table (21 golds, 14 silvers and 8 bronzes). At the Rio Games in 2016, the number of podiums jumped to 72, but a slight drop in the number of golds left the country in eighth position. In Tokyo 2020, the country returned to position number seven, with the same number of podiums as in Rio, but a record number of golds: 22.<\/p>\n According to Rafael Reis, this scenario can be explained by three factors. One of them is the founding of the CPB in 1994, which centralized the organization and financing of Paralympic sports. In addition, Brazil has a large population, which increases the chance of identifying talented athletes \u2013 and social determinants that increase the number of people with disabilities. \u201cUnfortunately, poverty, lack of basic development and sanitation and violence mean there are many people with disabilities [in Brazil],\u201d explains Reis.<\/p>\n In addition to the factors abovementioned, there is robust funding for Paralympic sports, the main pillars of which are the Agnelo\/Piva Law<\/a>, which allocates lottery funds to sport; the Sports Incentive Law, which allows companies and individuals to waive taxes to benefit sports projects; and the Athlete Grant<\/a>, which guarantees direct salary to athletes at different levels of their careers.<\/p>\n Check out Brazil’s medal table for the 2024 Paralympic Games<\/p>\n GOLD (23 medals)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Para Athletics (10)\u00a0<\/strong> Para Swimming (7)\u00a0<\/strong> Para Judo (4)\u00a0<\/strong> Para Taekwondo (1<\/strong>)\u00a0 Para Powerlifting (2)\u00a0<\/strong> Para Canoe (1)\u00a0<\/strong> SILVER (25)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Para Athletics (11)\u00a0<\/strong> Para Swimming (9)\u00a0<\/strong> Para Canoe (2)\u00a0<\/strong> Para Judo (2)\u00a0<\/strong> Para Triathlon (1)<\/strong>\u00a0 Shooting Para Sport (1)\u00a0<\/strong> BRONZE (38)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Para Athletics (14)\u00a0<\/strong> Para Swimming (10)\u00a0<\/strong> Goalball (1)<\/strong>\u00a0 Para Badminton (1)\u00a0<\/strong> Para Canoe (1)\u00a0<\/strong> Para Judo (2)<\/strong>\u00a0 Para Powerlifting (2)\u00a0<\/strong> Para Table tennis (4)\u00a0<\/strong> Para Taekwondo (1)\u00a0<\/strong> Blind football (1)\u00a0<\/strong> \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Athletics and swimming stand out in the competition; both sports celebrate historic records<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[1582,871,1359,748],"class_list":["post-249998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-ana","tag-china","tag-costa","tag-rio"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=249998"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249998\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=249998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=249998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avozdocerrado.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=249998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
