Welcome to the Tokyo Paralympics 2020! :biggrin:

~This thread is all about Triathlon~

Paratriathlon was introduced at the previous (Rio 2016) Summer Paralympics. This year features eight medal events (four for men and women each); athletes with 'similar' impairments are grouped together in classifications. Check out this link for a good explanation of these categories.

The schedule can be found here.

Use this thread to make your predictions about these sports, and discuss the events as they happen. :smile:
