Medal table
[edit]Judo, table tennis and taekwondo award two bronze medals per discipline - the table tennis to losing semi-finalists, a first since the 1996 Summer Paralympics and the two combat sports by a repechage system whereby defeated athletes up to the semi-final stage rejoin competition for a bronze medal.
Two silver medals were awarded for a second-place tie in the men's high jump T47 athletics event. No bronze medal was awarded as a result.
Two bronze medals were awarded for a third-place tie in the men's 100 metres T64 athletics event.
Two bronze medals were awarded for a third-place tie in the women's 100 metre freestyle S7 swimming event.
Due to the disqualification of two participants, a bronze medal was not awarded in the women's 100 metres T11 athletics event.
