Goalball - Team Turkey

General
Turkey won gold at Rio 2016 on their debut at the Paralympic Games. After four wins from four group stage matches, they eased past Israel and the US team on their way to a final against the People's Republic of China. Having already beaten the Chinese women in the opening round, Turkey came out 4-1 victors to complete an impressive tournament.

Turkey ensured they would have the chance to defend their Paralympic crown as one of three teams to qualify for Tokyo at the 2018 World Championships in Malmo. However, they did not add the world title to their Paralympic gold, and had to settle for silver in Sweden after a 4-3 defeat to the Russian Federation in the final. The Turkish team had claimed bronze at the world championships in 2014, beating Japan in the third-place match.

Turkey won gold ahead of Israel at the 2019 European Championships in Germany. They amassed two titles and two silver medals at the European championships between 2013 and 2019.
