Para-Athletics

Para-athletics encompasses track and field events adapted for athletes with physical, visual, or intellectual impairments, including sprints, distance races, throws (shot put, discus, javelin), and jumps, using equipment like racing wheelchairs, running blades (prosthetics), or guide runners as needed. A detailed classification system groups competitors by impairment type and functional ability to ensure fair competition. It is the largest Paralympic sport by number of events and medals, attracting athletes for the pure test of speed, strength, and power it offers.
