What does the code T47 in the event name ‘Men’s High Jump T47’ indicate?

  1. A.The height cleared by the winner
  2. B.The number of athletes in the final
  3. C.The classification of the athletes competing
  4. D.The edition number of the Games

Correct answer

C. The classification of the athletes competing

Explanation

The correct answer is the classification of the athletes competing. Para athletics groups competitors by the type and degree of their impairment and marks each group with a code, so a medal is always announced with that code attached. Nishad Kumar’s gold at the Asian Para Games 2026 is therefore a Men’s High Jump T47 gold rather than an unqualified men’s high jump gold. Option A is wrong because the code is fixed before the competition and has nothing to do with the mark achieved on the day. Option B is wrong because the size of a final varies from event to event and is never written into the name. Option D is wrong because the edition of the Games is written separately, as in Asian Para Games 2026, and never hidden inside a class code. Candidates who treat the code as part of the answer avoid the commonest trap in para sports questions, where two options differ only by the code.
