Paratriathlon is one of the few sports in which competitions between athletes with disabilities are held at the same time and in one place with the competition of healthy athletes. Paratriathletes compete at distances: • 750 m swimming, • 20 km bicycle (hand-operated bicycle / tandem / tricycle), • 5 km running (wheelchair race). Athletes sequentially overcome the distance of swimming, cycling and running with changing clothes in one or two transit zones. It is at this distance that the strongest 100 paralympic athletes in 6 classes (3 for each of men and women) competed for medals at the 2016 PI in Brazil. Since 2014, athletes began to compete in 5 classes. A new classification system has been introduced, the main principle of which is to distribute athletes not depending on the nature of the lesion, but depending on the degree of limitation of mobility in the joints, on muscle weakness. Paratriathletes athletes by the nature of the lesions are divided into 5 categories: • PT1 – wheelchairs: At a cycling distance, a bicycle with a manual drive is used; in the running part, sports carriages. • PT2, PT 3, PT4– amputation, cerebral palsy and other types of restrictions of varying severity, in which the athlete can move without a stroller. Riding a bicycle, running on dentures or with crutches. • RT 5 - visually impaired and blind. The athlete uses the help of a guide of the same gender. • During running and swimming, the athlete and the guide are tied together with a rope, which can be on the waist, on legs or feet. • In the bicycle part of the race, athletes compete in tandems. Jogging and running takes place on the promenade along the sea and in the park. • General physical training takes place at sports fields, at the sea, in the gym, in the hotel and in the sports complex.
