As we edge closer to the start of this year’s Paralympics, we wanted to start our own mini contest to test members’ predictive sporting prowess. 

To take part, all you have to do is tell us who you think will nab the top 5 spots in this year’s final Paralympics medal table.   

Stuck on who to pick?  Then, here’s the National Paralympics Committee list of participating countries to help you decide.  Could it be Cyprus, Angola or the USA?  It’s time to get your thinking caps on armchair pundits!

To be in with a chance of winning, leave your guesses below by midnight Monday 23 August 2021.  

And who knows… if you're the closest to the final table you might even take away the amazing winner’s prize of a one-off, much sought-after Paralympics 2020 champion community badge! <audience cheers>  Not forgetting everyone who joins in will be awarded a participants badge too.  Woohoo.

If this has whet your appetite for a challenge, have you thought about getting involved with the Make it Count community contest?  There’s still time to sign up and pick a team so head over to our contest thread for more details today  :)
