Greece left the Paris Paralympics with 13 medals from a delegation of 37 athletes. Three were gold, three silver and seven bronze.
The anthem played first for Athanasios Ghavelas. He won the T11 100 metres for the second Games in a row, the first Greek Paralympian to do so, and he remains the fastest vision-impaired man in the world.
Two more golds came from Thanasis Konstantinidis in the F32 shot put and from swimmer Alexandra Stamatopoulou in the S4 50m backstroke. Konstantinidis also took silver in the F32 club throw.
The other silvers went to Antonis Tsapatakis in the SB4 100m breaststroke and to sprinter Lida Manthopoulou in the T38 100m.
The bronzes
Lazaros Stefanidis, Konstantinos Tzounis and Manolis Stefanoudakis each won bronze in track and field. In taekwondo, Christina Gentzou and Eleni Papastamatopoulou did the same, and Theodora Paschalidou added one in judo.
Grigoris Polichronidis, a regular on the boccia podium, picked up his seventh Paralympic medal.
Stamatopoulou and Tsapatakis carried the Greek flag into the Stade de France at the closing ceremony on Sunday, September 8.
