Sixty athletes will compete across two genders, and six events.^[1] This will be the first Paralympic Games to feature paratriathlon, one of two new sports (along with paracanoe) added to the schedule for 2016.

Format[edit]

The Paralympic triathlon contains three components; a 750 m (820 yd) swim, 20 km (12 mi) cycle, and a 5 km (3.1 mi) run. The competitions take the form of a single event between all competitors with no heats. Competition takes place across four of the five recognised paratriathlon classifications; both genders will compete in the PT2 and PT4 classifications, the PT1 category for men only, where wheelchair athletes use handcycles on the cycling leg, and racing wheelchairs on the run leg, and the PT5 category for women only, where women with visual impairments will be assisted by a sighted guide, using a tandem bicycle on the cycling leg; as with other events for blind and visually impaired athletes, any guide will not count as a quota athlete but will be awarded a medal as appropriate.

No competition will be held in the PT3 classification in 2016.

Canoe sprint at the XV Paralympic Games
Venue	Lagoa Stadium
Dates	14–15 September 2016
Competitors	104
←inaugural	2020→

Paracanoeing at the 2016 Summer Paralympics, also simply referred to as canoeing, will be held in Rio de Janeiro in September 2016, with a maximum of 60 athletes (30 men, 30 women) competing in six sprint style events. This will be the first appearance for Para-canoe in the Paralympic Games.

Background to inclusion[edit]

In 2009, the International Canoe Federation (ICF) began a programme to make the sport accessible to everyone, with the explicit aim of including it in the Paralympic Games for the first time in Rio. In 2010, 31 countries sent participants to theParacanoe World Championship in Poland. That same year, the sport’s inclusion in the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games was approved.

In the Paralympic Games, only kayaks, identified by the letter K, are used, and only flatwater sprint events are held. Each boat is adapted according to the functional abilities of its crew members. Athletes with any type of physical-motor disability may participate in competitions.^[2][2]

Classification[edit]

The Olympic and Paralympic versions have similar rules, with the fastest canoeist winning. The competition format features direct classification to the finals and repechage heats to decide which athletes will take part in the final race, in which medals are won.

There are three functional classes: L3, where athletes use their legs, trunk and arms to help paddling; L2, in which athletes use only their trunk and arms; and K1, in which athletes only use their arms. Events are always held along straight line courses marked by buoys, 200 metres long. There are both men’s and women’s races, with events for individuals.^[3]

Qualification[edit]

An NPC can be allocated a maximum of one (1) qualification slot per medal event. An NPC can obtain a maximum of three (3) male and three (3) female slots. There must be a minimum of three (3) continents represented in each medal event at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.

Qualification slots will be allocated as follows:

Wheelchair tennis events at the 2016 Summer Paralympicswill be held between 8–16 September at Olympic Tennis Centre, Rio. This will be the seventh full Paralympic wheelchair tennis competition since the event was introduced in 1992, having been a demonstration event in 1988.

Classification[edit]

Players were classified according to the type and extent of their disability, and within that system according to gender.

The classification system allows players to compete against others with a similar level of function. All wheelchair tennis athletes must have a major or total loss of function in one or both legs to take part in the sport. further to that, there are two broad categorisations within wheelchair tennis; paraplegic players, with full arm function who play in gendered events, and quadriplegic (“quad tennis”) players with restrictions in arm function, where no gender division occurs.

Qualification[edit]

A National Paralympic Committee (NPC) can enter a maximum of four qualified male athletes and four qualified female athletes in the men’s and women’s singles events, respectively and a maximum of three qualified athletes in the quad singles.

An NPC can enter a maximum of two qualified men’s teams and two qualified women’s teams, each containing two athletes, in the men’s and women’s doubles events, respectively, and a maximum of one qualified team of two athletes in the quad doubles – (mixed gender)

An NPC can be allocated a maximum of four male and four female qualification slots for athletes competing in the men’s and women’s events, and no more than three qualification slots in the quad sport class for a maximum quota allocation of eleven qualification slots per NPC. As such, doubles pairings in the larger teams must be made from the qualified singles players of that team.^[1]

The majority of the qualifiers will be chosen by rankings on 23 May 2016. A smaller number will be chosen by the Bipartite Commission, while the host country will also be allocated quota places. A small number of direct qualiifers will also be allocated places from continental games.

Equestrian at the 2016 Summer Paralympics consists of 11 dressageevents, ten for individual riders across five classes, and a single mixed team, mixed category event. The competitions will held in the Olympic Equestrian Centre in Rio, in September 2016.

Classification[edit]

Riders are given a classification depending on the type and extent of their disability. The classification system allowed riders to compete against others with a similar level of function.

Athletes are classified according to their functional ability when mounted across four grades and five categories (Ia and Ib, II, III and IV). The grading determines the complexity of the movements riders perform with their horses during their tests, ensuring that the tests are judged on the skill of the rider, regardless of their impairment. Riders may use permitted assistive devices such as dressage whips, connecting rein bars looped reins, and the like. Riders who have visual impairments are permitted to use ‘callers’ to help them navigate around the arena.^[1]

Riders with recovering or deteriorating conditions such as MS are eligible but must have been reclassified within six months of a World Championships or Paralympic Games to ensure their classification is correct.

Specialised equipment including prostheses is only allowed where it has been specifically approved.

Equestrian at the 2016 Summer Paralympics – Classification of events [1]
Classification		Description
I	a	for riders with impaired limb function, or poor balance and good upper limb function Grade Ia riders are usually wheelchair users with impairment of all four limbs. They may be able to walk, but this is usually with an unsteady gait due to difficulties with balance and trunk stability.
	b	for riders with impaired limb function, and/or poor balance and good upper limb function Grade Ib riders are similar to Grade Ia in that they are mainly wheelchair users. They must have poor trunk balance and/or impairment of all four limbs. Some riders will have both, but some will have just one of the two listed impairments.[1]
II		for riders with locomotion impairment Grade II riders are often wheelchair users. Riders in this grade can have severe impairment involving the trunk but with good or mild upper limb function, or can have severe arm impairment and slight leg impairment, or can have severe degree of impairment down one side.[1]
III		for blind riders with moderate locomotion impairment Grade III riders are usually able to walk without support but may require a wheelchair for longer distances. Riders can have moderate unilateral impairment, moderate impairment of all four limbs, or severe arm impairment. Blind riders compete in this category but must wear blacked-out glasses or a blindfold.[1]
IV		for riders with some visual impairment or impaired function in one or two limbs Grade IV riders have an impairment of one of two limbs or a visual impairment at B2 level.[1]

Qualification[edit]

The following teams and individuals have attained quota places for the 2016 Summer Paralympics Equestrian event.^[2] On 25 March, FEI announced^[3] that France and Russia, having achieved multiple quota places for individuals, would be able to field composite teams in the team competition, bringing the total number of teams in that event to 16.
