Japan earned a total of 24 medals — 10 silver and 14 bronze — in what turned out to be an anticlimactic 12-day event.
Just hours before the closing ceremony, a pair of Japanese athletes earned medals in the in T12 marathon for visually impaired runners, with Misato Michishita claiming silver in the women's race and Masahiro Okamura earning bronze in the men's event.
