Silver went to Slovenia's Mina Markovic and Spain's Ramon Julian Puigblanque, while bronze went to France's Hélène Janicot adn Holland's Jorg Verhoeven. Anna Tzyganova from Russia and Libor Hroza from the Czech Republic were the fastest sprinters while in the Paraclimbing competition victory went to France's Nicolas Moineau, Spain's Urko Carmona Barandiaran, Belgium's Elodie Orbaen and Italian champion Silvia Parente, all winners in their respective categories.
