In para athletics, what does the letter and number combination such as T47 in an event name indicate?
- A.The lane drawn by the athlete
- B.The classification group in which the athlete competes
- C.The number of athletes in the final
- D.The round of the competition
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the classification group in which the athlete competes. Para athletics places competitors in classes so that athletes with a comparable degree of impairment face one another, and an event is then named by the distance along with the class, which is why Dilip Gavit's gold is recorded as the Men's 100m T47 and not merely as the 100 metres. The letter T marks a track event, and the figure that follows identifies the class. Option A takes the combination for a lane number, but lanes are drawn afresh for every heat and never form part of an event name. Option C reads it as a count of finalists, which no event name carries. Option D treats it as the round, such as a heat, a semi-final or a final, which is written separately. Understanding this convention helps a candidate read a para medal table correctly, since the same distance appears in several classes at one Games.
