Portugal’s Cristina Goncalves became the inaugural Paralympic champion in the women’s individual BC2 event, with Thailand’s Worawut Saengampa winning the men’s title.</p> <figure role="group" aria-label="Christina Goncalves topped the podium in the women's individual BC2 event. @Alex Slitz/Getty Images" class="caption caption-drupal-entity"> <div data-embed-button="image" data-entity-embed-display="entity_reference:media_thumbnail" data-entity-embed-display-settings="amp_metadata_content_image_min_696px_wide" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="31eacbc3-acf0-4351-b548-f3cc1d846b1d" data-langcode="en" class="embedded-entity"> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/amp_metadata_content_image_min_696px_wide/public/2024-09/Cristina%20Goncalves%2C%20Portugal%2C%20Paris%202024%2C%20boccia.jpg?itok=mCGKEHzo" width="696" height="489" alt="Two female boccia athletes are in competition." typeof="foaf:Image" loading="lazy" class="image-style-amp-metadata-content-image-min-696px-wide" /> </div> <figcaption>Christina Goncalves topped the podium in the women's individual BC2 event. @Alex Slitz/Getty Images</figcaption> </figure> <p> </p> <p>Home favourite Aurelie Aubert captured the women’s BC1 gold, with Hong Kong’s John Loung topping the podium in the men’s event. China’s Lin Ximei and Great Britain’s Stephen McGuire won the women’s and men’s gold, respectively, in the BC4 category, before Hong Kong’s Yuen Kei Ho and the Republic of Korea’s Jeong Howon won the BC3 gold medals.</p> <p>The historic nature of her victory was recognised by Ho, who won the women’s individual BC3 title. “Separate individual medal events offer a more gender-equal footing to us women,” she said.</p> <figure role="group" aria-label="Yuen Kei Ho emphasised the historic nature of her victory in the women's individual BC3 tournament. @Michael Reaves/Getty Images" class="caption caption-drupal-entity"> <div data-embed-button="image" data-entity-embed-display="entity_reference:media_thumbnail" data-entity-embed-display-settings="amp_metadata_content_image_min_696px_wide" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="dab14f99-2680-42ea-840a-7c05eea3a12a" data-langcode="en" class="embedded-entity"> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/amp_metadata_content_image_min_696px_wide/public/2024-09/Yuen%20Kei%20Ho%2C%20Hong%20Kong%2C%20Paris%202024%2C%20boccia.jpg?itok=n-b7mpIQ" width="696" height="491" alt="A male ramp operator hugs a female boccia athlete" typeof="foaf:Image" loading="lazy" class="image-style-amp-metadata-content-image-min-696px-wide" /> </div> <figcaption>Yuen Kei Ho emphasised the historic nature of her victory in the women's individual BC3 tournament. @Michael Reaves/Getty Images</figcaption> </figure> <p> </p> <h2 class="title2">Biggest surprise</h2> <p>The level of competition showed tremendous growth since Tokyo 2020, with 15 countries represented on the podium.

"Maybe when I won gold in Rio, where there were maybe one or two (medal contenders), and then obviously in Tokyo, there were a few more. But it was still maybe me and a couple of others.”</p> <p>“But this time around, I came in not dominant. I came in knowing that I had to hold on to the world number one for a long, long time, and I’ve been clinging onto it with my fingernails, knowing that there are people either side of me waiting to take it.”</p> <p> </p> <h2 class="title2">Home hero</h2> <p>Aurelie Aubert stormed to the gold medal in the women’s individual BC1, winning France’s first Paralympic boccia medal.</p> <p>Aubert had an excited Parisian crowd behind her as she beat Singapore’s Yee Ting Jeralyn Tan in the final and said: “This gold medal is a very big milestone for boccia in France.</p> <p>“The cheers and roars from the crowd were a big advantage for me as a French player and I thank them for their support.”</p> <p>Aubert was one of France’s flagbearers at the Closing Ceremony on 8 September and blew out the Paralympic flame.</p> <figure role="group" aria-label="Aubert played a very important role at the Closing Ceremony. @Ezra Shaw/Getty Images" class="caption caption-drupal-entity"> <div data-embed-button="image" data-entity-embed-display="entity_reference:media_thumbnail" data-entity-embed-display-settings="amp_metadata_content_image_min_696px_wide" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="e17e2586-b244-43ef-9c9b-ab82780327a7" data-langcode="en" class="embedded-entity"> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/amp_metadata_content_image_min_696px_wide/public/2024-09/Closing%20Ceremony%2C%20Aurelie%20Aubert.jpg?itok=EAkkSx3J" width="696" height="472" alt="Aurelie Aubert blows out the Paralympic flame.
