They once again come from swimming and again bear the signatures of Carlotta Gilli and Stefano Raimondi the two gold medals on the sixth day of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. Gilli triumphed in the 200 medley SM3, while Raimondi won in the 100 butterfly S10. Italy stands at 35 medals: 10 gold, 8 silver, 17 bronze.

The first medal of the day came from athletics. In the discus throw F11, Assunta Legnante won silver with a measure of 38.01. The second podium finish bore the signature of Sara Morganti in equestrian, third in the Grade I individual event. It is again the Tuscan athlete who writes the history of blue paradressage.

After placing the two bronze medals at Tokyo 2020 around her neck (on that occasion riding Royal Delight), the Italian rider is confirmed, moreover with a different horse, at the top of world Paralympic dressage.

Almost simultaneously with Sara Morganti's bronze came that of Federico Bicelli in swimming, who after yesterday's gold in the 400 style Federico Bicelli wins a valuable bronze in the men's 100m backstroke S7.

Bronze also for Elisabetta Mijno in the Women's Individual Recurve Archery, while the last podium of the day came from fencing and was won by Edoardo Giordan in the Men's Saber Category A at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
