In a repeat of Athens 2004, the Republic of Korea claimed the gold medal, with an 8-1 victory over Spain. The ROK team's Jeong Ho-won, the Individual BC3 bronze medal winner, the young Park Keon-woo, the Individual BC3 gold medal winner, and reserve Shin Bo-mee were simply too good for Spain.

"Winning the first gold medal three days ago in the individual event was a great experience," Park commented on the victory. "But having the pair event in mind, I wasn't able to indulge myself in ecstasy. I tried to calm down and shift my focus to the competition today (on Friday)."

Portuguese pair Armando Costa and Mario Peixoto plus reserve Eunice Raimundo won bronze and were always in control of their match against Thailand which they won 4-1.
