The 2004 Summer Paralympics, officially known as the Games of the XII Paralympics, were a summer international multi-parasport event for athletes with disabilities governed by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) held in Athens, Greece from 17 to 28 September 2004.[1][2] A total of 3,806 athletes representing 136 National Paralympic Committees (NPC) participated,[3] and 17 NPCs made their Paralympic debuts in Athens.[4] The Games featured 519 events in 19 sports, including the Paralympic debut of football 5-a-side.[3]
Athletes from 75 countries has won at least one medal, leaving 61 nations without a medal.[5] Angola,[6] Azerbaijan,[7] Bosnia and Herzegovina,[8] Botswana,[9] Cyprus,[10] Iraq,[11] Latvia,[12] Morocco,[13] Serbia and Montenegro,[14] and Turkey won their nation's first Paralympic gold medals.[15] They were also the first Paralympic medals of any kind for Angola,[6] Botswana,[9] Cyprus,[10] Macedonia,[16] Rwanda,[17] Serbia and Montenegro,[14] and Turkey.[15] The medals bore an engraving of the Parthenon on top of the Acropolis as well as the Games' name in Greek above it. The reverse face shows the Games' logo above its name. Below that are three Tae-Geuks as well as the phrase "Athens 2004" in braille.[18]
China led the medal table both in number of gold medals won and in overall medals, with 63 and 141 respectively.[5] Among individual participants, Japan's Mayumi Narita and the United States' Erin Popovich won the most gold medals at the Games with seven each in swimming.[19][20] Canada's Stephanie Dixon, Belarus' Raman Makarau and Narita won the most overall medals at the Games with eight in total (seven gold and one bronze).[19]
Medal table
[edit]The ranking in this table is based on information provided by the IPC and is consistent with IPC convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won (in this context, a "nation" is an entity represented by a National Paralympic Committee). The number of silver medals is next considered, followed by the number of bronze medals. If nations remain tied, they are ranked equally and listed alphabetically by IPC country code.[21]
In the mixed dressage championship Grade II Individual event, there was a tie for third place which resulted in two bronze medals being issued.[22] In the women's table tennis class 1–3 team competition, only a gold medal was awarded to the winning team.[23]
