PARIS: The Netherlands won back-to-back Paralympic women´s wheelchair basketball titles as they beat the USA 63-49 on Sunday. The Dutch retained the title they won at Tokyo 2020, and underlined their dominance after also winning the last two world championships. The Americans must wait until the 2028 Los Angeles Paralympics before trying to win a title that their men won for a third Games in a row on Saturday. The USA women´s last title came at the 2016 Rio Games.
