After the Paralympics finished I had worked out the number of medals for all of the people with HSP competing in the Olympics. I also put a photo together with all of the wonderful people with HSP who were competing:
Since this I have become aware of another person with HSP who was competing - Daniel Mendes was competing for Brazil in the swimming, and won a Bronze in the mixed 4*50m freestyle relay.
This brings the medal tally up by one to:
Gold - 3 (All from Rebecca Hart in the equestrian)
Silver - 2 (from Roman Polianskyi in the rowing and Toni Ponce in the swimming)
Bronze - 3 (from Austin Smeenk in the athletics, Dayna Crees in the javelin and Daniel Mendes in the swimming).
If Team HSP were a country then it would feature between Greece and Venezuela, but the addition of another Bronze doesnt change this because Greece have 3 silver and 7 bronze medals.
If anyone knows other people with HSP who were competing in the Paralympics, please let me know, and I can make an updated picture to include Daniel (and any others).
The full list of athletes I found is here: https://hspjourney.blogspot.com/2024/08/hereditary-spastic-paralympians-2024.html
Here is Daniel with his team at their medal ceremony:
