Taiwan’s delegation concluded its campaign at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Para Games with four gold, seven silver and nine bronze medals. The Sports Ministry said that, beyond competitive results, ensuring that athletes with disabilities have better training, facilities and opportunities to participate will be a key focus of future sports policy.

According to Focus Taiwan, Taiwan sent 71 athletes to compete in 12 sports: archery, athletics, badminton, boccia, judo, powerlifting, shooting, swimming, table tennis, taekwondo, wheelchair fencing and wheelchair tennis.

Sports Minister Li Yang told Central News Agency that the Games had prompted him to think more deeply about the needs of athletes with disabilities. He said athletes hoped to receive the same level of attention and treatment as competitors at the Asian Games, adding that there was still room to improve the relevant systems and support measures.

Li said the Sports Ministry would continue working with local governments to establish more venues where people with disabilities can take part in sports, rather than concentrating resources solely on training elite competitors. He also praised the support teams, noting that some staff had only taken a brief break after the Asian Games before returning to Japan to support the Asian Para Games.

Taiwanese table tennis players Lin Tzu-yu and Tien Hsiao-wen defeated a Chinese pair in the women’s WD20 doubles final to claim another gold medal for Taiwan. Lin also won gold in the mixed doubles and women’s singles, making her one of Taiwan’s leading medal winners at the Games.

The Asian Para Games are not only an international stage for athletes with disabilities to compete for sporting success; they also prompt societies to reassess sports facilities, training resources and opportunities for social participation. Taiwan’s medals and the calls for institutional improvements after the Games underscore the need to advance competitive sports and sports equality in tandem.
