Para Athletics

Athletes are classified according to their type and degree of disability, ensuring fair competition. Events are adapted to allow the participation of athletes with different disabilities. This may include events using prosthetics, racing wheelchairs, and visual guides.

Throwing events (shot put, discus, javelin) and jumping events (long jump, high jump) are adapted to enable athletes with various disabilities to participate. In all competitions, the same penalties and fouls as in conventional athletics are applied, with special considerations for movement and coordination difficulties.
