Judo, table tennis and taekwondo awarded two bronze medals per discipline - the table tennis to losing semi-finalists, and the two combat sports by a repechage system whereby defeated athletes up to the semi-final stage rejoin competition for a bronze medal.
Medals
Paris 2024 president Tony Estanguet unveiled the Olympic and Paralympic medals for the Games in February 2024, which on the obverse featured embedded hexagon-shaped tokens of scrap iron that had been taken from the original construction of the Eiffel Tower, with the Games logo engraved into it.[3] Approximately 5,084 medals would be produced by the French mintMonnaie de Paris, and were designed by Chaumet, a luxury jewellery firm based in Paris.[4]
The reverse of the medals contains a design of the Eiffel Tower viewed from below, inscriptions in braille (a writing system whose development has been credited to French educator and inventor Louis Braille), and line patterns that can be used to identify the medals by touch.[5][6] Each medal weighs 455–529 g (16–19 oz), has a diameter of 85 mm (3.3 in) and is 9.2 mm (0.36 in) thick.[7] The gold medals are made with 98.8 percent silver and 1.13 percent gold, while the bronze medals are made up with copper, zinc, and tin.[8]
Medal table
Two silver medals were awarded for a second-place tie in the Men's 50m Freestyle - S11, and no bronze medal was awarded. Two bronze medals were awarded for a third-place tie in the Men's High Jump - T64. After an incident during the final race, two bronze medals were also awarded in athletics for the women's T63 100m sprint.
Neutral athletes competed under a white flag featuring black lettering spelling out NPA. The flag’s use was limited to TV and sports presentation graphics and during medal ceremonies. Medal wins were not recorded on the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games medals table and when a neutral athlete won a gold medal, the Paralympic anthem was played, but their medal was not added to the official medals table.[9]
