Athletics
Athletics is available to all people with a disability and they compete in most of the same events as their able-bodied counterparts.
Athletics has been part of the Paralympic programme since 1960, and events are open to males and females in all disability groups.
The timing and measuring systems used in the Paralympic Games are identical to those used at the Olympic Games.
