Significant delegation
Team Peru arrived at the
2024 Paralympic Games with a
delegation made up of
17 members (13 para-athletes and 4 assistant-guides).
This figure surpasses that of the Peruvian delegation at Tokyo 2020 Games, which included 11 para-athletes.
It also doubles the number of para-athletes (6) who participated in Rio 2016.
In the history of the Paralympic Games, Peru has won 10 medals, the most recent of which was received due to the performance of para-taekwondo athlete (-47kg) Angelica Espinoza in the current edition.
