Athletes from 75 countries had won at least one medal, leaving 61 nations without a medal.[8] Angola,[9] Azerbaijan,[10] Bosnia and Herzegovina,[11] Botswana,[12] Cyprus,[13] Iraq,[14] Latvia,[15] Morocco,[16] Serbia and Montenegro,[17] and Turkey won their nation's first Paralympic gold medals.[18] They were also the first Paralympic medals of any kind for Angola,[9] Botswana,[12] Cyprus,[13] Macedonia,[19] Rwanda,[6] Serbia and Montenegro,[17] and Turkey.[18] The official medal was created and cut by designer Konstantinos Kazakos.[4][20] It features an engraving of the Parthenon on top of the Acropolis as well as the Games' name in Greek above it. The reverse face shows the Games' logo above its name. Below that are three Tae-Geuks as well as the phrase "Athens 2004" in braille.[21]

Medal table

edit

The ranking in this table is based on information provided by the IPC and is consistent with IPC convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won (in this context, a "nation" is an entity represented by a National Paralympic Committee). The number of silver medals is next considered, followed by the number of bronze medals. If nations remain tied, they are ranked equally and listed alphabetically by IPC country code.[25]

In the mixed dressage championship Grade II Individual event, there was a tie for third place which resulted in two bronze medals being issued.[26] In the women's table tennis class 1–3 team competition, only a gold medal was awarded to the winning team.[27]
