Team LGBTQ currently tied with Iran for 19th most total medals at Paris Paralympics
If Team LGBTQ were a country, the out athletes would collectively beat most other nations in the 2024 Paralympics medal count. The post Team LGBTQ currently tied with Iran for 19th most total medals at Paris Paralympics appeared first on Outsports.


LGBTQ athletes are scoring medals at the 2024 Paralympics in Paris.
Team LGBTQ has so far won 19 medals at the Paralympics. At the Tokyo Paralympics three years ago, the group of out LGBTQ athletes won a total of 25 medals. This group is on pace to eclipse the Tokyo total medals, just as it topped the total number of athletes.
Team LGBTQ is currently in 19th place and tied with Iran for overall total medals. However, the collective group of athletes is in 13th place with the more-traditional method of counting Olympic and Paralympic medal standing, starting with total number of gold medals (7), then silver then bronze.
France’s para cyclist Marie Patouillet leads the out LGBTQ athletes with two medals — a gold and a silver — at these Paris Paralympics, in her home country.
