Great Britain matched their overall medal total from Tokyo three years ago, but won eight more golds in Paris.

In fact, 49 gold medals is ParalympicsGB’s highest tally since Rio 2016 – where they won 64 golds – and second-highest since Seoul 1988 where they collected 65.

Great Britain have finished second in the medal table in every summer Paralympics this century second except for London 2012, where they finished third.

More than half of the team’s 215 athletes made the podium at some point during the Paris Games.

Briscoe said GB “punch above our weight”, adding: “We’ve had a comfortable gap [to] that chasing pack but we’re not complacent, we’ve got to reach out and find new talent.”
