Brazil once again achieved four podiums on day two of the Tokyo Paralympic Games. Swimming proved, once again, that she was the leader in the delegation and won two more bronzes. The country also had an unprecedented silver in Hispism and another vice-championship in fencing. Despite the four medals, Brazil lost its positions and fell to 10th overall, having no gold medals on Thursday.

In general, China confirmed favoritism and already took first place in the medal table. Australia, which had locked ahead on day one, slipped back to fourth place. British and Russian Olympic Committees complete the podium.

Historically, the United States does not repeat the Olympics’ dominance over the Paralympics. So far, the Americans have won two golds and two silvers, emerging seventh in the overall standings.
