Fuelled for success – the UK regions which saw most Paralympic success in Paris revealed
Following the UK’s impressive performance at the Paralympics this summer , John West, the official protein partner of ParalympicsGB, has revealed the locations across the UK that fuelled the country’s success.
Analysing data from the Paralympic Games in Paris, John West has revealed the 10 regions which saw the most Paralympic medals.
The protein partner also identified each region’s “Paralympic capital” – the local hotspots which have enjoyed the most success.
| Rank | Region | Medals | “Paralympic capital” | Medals |
| 1 | 25 | Middlewich | 5 | |
| 2 | South East | 23 | New Milton | 5 |
| 3 | East of England | 15 | Beccles | 3 |
| 4 | West Midlands | 14 | Birmingham | 2 |
| Greater London | 14 | Ealing | 4 | |
| South West | 14 | Forest Of Dean | 4 | |
| 5 | East Midlands | 13 | Wellingborough | 3 |
| Scotland | 14 | Melrose | 5 | |
| 6 | Wales | 11 | Cardiff | 2 |
| 7 | Yorkshire & The Humber | 7 | Halifax | 3 |
The research has been conducted as ParalympicsGB, fuelled by John West, brought home 124 medals from Paris at this year’s games.
The North West sits in the top spot, thanks to incredible performances from Paralympians such as Dame Sarah Storey from Poynton, one of the most successful British Paralympians of all time following her two gold medals in Paris this year.
Other Paralympians from the region who brought home medals this year include Liverpool’s Lora Fachie OBE, and Poppy Maskill from Middlewich who won an impressive three golds and two silvers.
Meanwhile, Paralympians from the South East take silver, thanks to the successes of Brighton’s 14-year-old Bly Twomey, who made her Paralympic debut in Paris, and Hampshire’s Alice Tai who brought home 5 medals.
In a show of support for the ParalympicsGB team, John West installed impressive billboards in the North West and other locations across the country, demonstrating the spectacular performance of this year’s athletes.
Vikki Babb, marketing director at John West said: “We’re incredibly proud to be the protein partner of ParalympicsGB, helping to fuel the team in their mission to bring home medals.”
