I was shocked when they didn't win a single gold in Rio, being the next hosts that is. I'm curious to see how they perform this time, but updating the qualification thread it seems they don't even have good representation in some sports (although the addition of Badminton should already help them in the medal table).

vinipereira 3,047 Posted August 14, 2021 #12 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Prizes for brazilian medallists have been announced: Gold: R$ 160.000 (~US$ 30.000) Silver: R$ 64.000 (~US$ 12.000) Bronze: R$ 32.000 (~US$ 6.000) Athletes in teams, pairs and relays will receive half of that amount. This might not seem much, but this money could have a real impact in the life of most brazilian Paralympic athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
