Para athletics | Paris 2024 Paralympic Games
The Para-athletics events for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games will be held at the Stade de France from 30 August to 7 September.
The first Para athletics competition took place in 1952 when several athletes with spinal cord injuries took part in a javelin throwing competition at the Stoke Mandeville Games. Para athletics was one of the first sports to be included in the programme for the 1960 Paralympic Games in Rome, which consisted of eight disciplines. The Paralympic Games now encompass a wide variety of track events (apart from obstacle courses and walking events), jumping events (apart from pole vault and triple jump), throwing events (such as club throw, but without the hammer throw) and, of course, the Paralympic Marathon (since 1984), a road event.
The figures for Para athletics are staggering. While the Olympic Games have two 100-metre finals (men's and women's), the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games will have 29 as a result of the many disability categories. The large number of competition categories makes Para athletics the leading Paralympic sport in terms of the number of events on the programme (164) and the number of athletes taking part (1,069).
This success continues, with more and more Para athletes competing in each edition of the Paralympic Games.
There are ten types of disability in Para athletics: eight physical impairments (brain injury, spinal cord injury, achondroplasia, amputations and agenesis, etc.) as well as vision and intellectual impairments.
Depending on their impairment category, athletes can compete in a racing wheelchair (three-wheeled), with a prosthesis(es) or from a throwing chair.
Determined by their degree of disability, athletes with vision impairments may be accompanied by a guide for races or be escorted by an assistant for throws and jumps. Please note, however, that the same disability categories do not apply at every event.
The classification is as follows:
>> LETTER:
- T (= Track) = events for runners and jumpers
- F (= Field) = throwing events
>> NUMBER: 2 components
First component (tens) : represents the impairment types
T/F 11-13 = vision impairments
T/F 20 = intellectual impairment
T/F 31-34 = cerebral palsy (wheelchair racing/throwing)
T/F 35-38 = cerebral palsy (standing racing/throwing)
T/F 40-41 = short stature
T/F 42-47 = upper limb amputations and orthopaedic impairment of lower limbs excluding amputations
T51-54 & F51-57 = spinal cord injuries (wheelchair racing & seated throwing)
T/F 61-64 = with prothesis for lower limb(s).- Second component (units): : usually represents the severity of the impairment and is inversely proportional to it.
