Ready for some stats?
At the last four Paralympics, Great Britain have finished in the top three of the medal table.
This year's team contains 264 athletes: swimmer Abby Kane is the youngest, at 13, while equestrian rider Anne Dunham is competing in her fifth games at 67-years-old.
They've been set a target of 121 medals in Rio - that's one more than their London 2012 haul.
