The remaining team members who did not win individual medals at the 2012 Games are just as worthy of celebration. This list includes those who won medals in teams without an individual medal, and all those who did not achieve a medal, but as De Coubertin observed, the important thing is not the winning but the taking part, and that is particularly appropriate for the achievements of the athletes of the Paralympic Games.
They are:
