Day 4
Cool Cristina
Midway through our look back to the winners from Paris 2024, today we salute the enduring talent and competitive spirit of Cristina Gonçalves (Pic: Raquel Gouveia).
The Portuguese star – one of three Europeans to win individual boccia medals in Paris – finally struck Paralympic gold in an individual class at her fourth Games.
Gonçalves beat South Korea’s Jeong Soyeong in a hard-fought battle, to become women’s BC2 champion at the age of 47.
