A Paralympic Sport that requires the utmost concentration and support from not only the officials and trainers, but the audience as well, Boccia found a full house of spectators each one of its six competition days. A total of seven gold medals were possible on the third and sixth days.

The third day of competition saw the first gold medal (BC1) go to Joao Paulo Fernandes from Portugal, competing against fellow Portuguese athlete Antonio Marques. On the final day of competition, 12 September, Brazil took the gold after winning against Portugal in the Mixed Pairs (BC4) event. The other gold medals for Mixed Pairs went to Korea after beating Spain (BC3) and Great Britain after beating Portugal (BC1/BC2).
