Athletics
Athletics offers a wide range of competitions and the largest number of events. Athletics has been part of the Paralympic Games since 1960 and, since then, advances in technology and the athletes' sheer dedication to the sport have made once unimaginable feats become realities.
Athletics events are open to athletes in all disabilitiy classes . Some compete in wheelchairs, others with prostheses, and visually impaired and blind athletes compete with the guidance of a sighted companion. Events include track, throwing, jumping, pentathlon and the marathon. Athletes compete according to their functional classifications in each event and these events are continually being redefined to include as many athletes as possible.  |
