In a para athletics class such as T47, what does the letter T indicate?
- A.A throwing event
- B.A track-and-jump event
- C.A team event
- D.A trial event outside the medal programme
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is a track-and-jump event. In para athletics every result carries a class written as a letter followed by a number: the letter T covers running and jumping events, so sprints, middle-distance races and the long jump in which Nishad Kumar won his gold medal are all written with a T, and the number names the sport class that groups athletes of comparable function so the contest is fair. Option A is wrong because throwing events such as the javelin, the discus and the shot put take the letter F instead. Option C is wrong because the class letter says nothing about whether an event is individual or by teams. Option D is wrong because a class is simply a competition category and every class in the programme carries its own set of medals. Medals are decided class by class, so the class belongs in the answer.
