The Senior Women’s National Team wrapped up the 2024 Paralympic Games as the fourth seed – it’s best finish in 20 years.

Canada concluded the Paris Games with a hard-fought battle against China, coming up short in a 65-43 decision.

“China did everything well. Their press, their mismatches on the littles, their No. 3 shooter hit everything,” said Tara Llanes. “It’s pretty tough to defend when you have a team like that. You can only make so many rotations until someone is open, and you hope they miss and they didn’t.”

The fourth-place finish in Paris is the best result for the SWNT since they captured bronze at the 2004 Paralympics in Athens. Canada finished fifth in Beijing in 2008, sixth at the 2012 Games in London, fifth in Rio in 2016 and fifth at the Tokyo Paralympics.
