Para Triathlon
Para Triathlon is a multi-sport endurance event that consists of three sequential disciplines: swimming, cycling, and running. Athletes begin with a 750m swim, followed by a transition to a 20km bike ride, and ending with a 5km run to the finish line. Depending on their disability classification, athletes may utilize a handcycle, racing wheelchair, or tandem bicycle during the cycling and running segments. There are no heats; the competition is a single race in which the first athlete to cross the finish line is the winner.
