At the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, the United States celebrated victory with two track and field titles on August 31. Jaydin Blackwell distinguished himself by breaking the world record in the men’s T38 100 m. China, however, dominated the medal tally, with impressive performances, including a world record in javelin throw.

Brazil’s Gabriel dos Santos Araujo claimed gold in the 50 m backstroke, adding to his country's successes. Meanwhile, the USA men's wheelchair basketball team delivered a powerful performance, securing a definitive win.

Yet, the Games faced challenges; concerns surrounding water quality led to the cancellation of a triathlon training session.
