Athletics events are open to athletes in all disability classes. Some compete in wheelchairs; others with prostheses, and visually impaired and blind athletes compete with the guidance of a sighted companion. Events include track, throwing, jumping, pentathlon and the marathon. Athletes compete according to their functional classifications in each event and these events are continually being redefined to include as many athletes as possible.
