• Two-time winner of the women's −75 kg weight class, powerlifter Lin Tzu-Hui aimed to claim her third Paralympic gold, but proved in vain. With potent competitors from China and Nigeria both breaking the records in their additional attempts, Lin failed to overcome the record she set for herself － 137.5 kg. Fortunately, she ended up as the bronze medalist with her first attempt, a lift of 137 kg.
