Paralympic Games: Record Number Of Delegations And Females Set To Compete In Paris
With the final numbers still to be fully confirmed due to teams still arriving in the French capital, it looks like the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games will feature around 4,400 athletes from a record 168 delegations. This number includes 167 National Paralympic Committees (NPCs), an eight-strong Refugee Paralympic Team (RPT), and up to 98 Neutral Paralympic Athletes (NPA) (90 from Russia and 8 from Belarus).
The figure of 168 delegations for Paris 2024 surpasses the previous record of 164 delegations from the London 2012 and Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. The previous highest number of athletes at a Paralympic Games was 4,393 from Tokyo 2020, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) informed in a release on Friday.
