Disability classifications

编辑
主条目：Disability sport classification

Every participant at the Paralympics has their disability grouped into one of five disability categories; amputation, the condition may be congenital or sustained through injury or illness; cerebral palsy; wheelchair athletes, there is often overlap between this and other categories; visual impairment, including blindness; Les autres（英语：Les Autres sport classification）, any physical disability that does not fall strictly under one of the other categories, for example dwarfism or multiple sclerosis.[4][5] Each Paralympic sport then has its own classifications, dependent upon the specific physical demands of competition. Events are given a code, made of numbers and letters, describing the type of event and classification of the athletes competing. Some sports, such as athletics, divide athletes by both the category and severity of their disabilities, other sports, for example swimming, group competitors from different categories together, the only separation being based on the severity of the disability.[6]

Athletics

Alefosio ‘Sio’ Laki qualified to represent Samoa at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio in the discus. He started participating in discus three years prior. Laki is based in Australia, but both of his parents are from Samoa. His representation for Samoa came about because of a relationship developed with the Samoans by Athletics Australia（英语：Athletics Australia）.[7] Laki has cerebral palsy, and went to Rio when he was a year 12 student at Hampton Park Secondary College（英语：Hampton Park Secondary College）.[7] He prepared for the Paralympics by training for three hours per day at the track three times a week and the gym three times a week.[8] Laki threw a personal best distance of 33.53 meters. He placed 12th in the competition out of the 12 participants.[9][10]

Maggie Aiono received a wildcard spot to compete in the discus event. Her left foot was amputated after a car accident in 1994, and she uses a prosthetic. The Paralympic Committee also gave Aiono a new prothesis for walking and one specially for discus throwing. Aiono used to do shotput, but changed to discus a couple of months before the Paralympics. She received her new prosthetic leg just before arriving at Rio.[11] Aiono was Samoa's flag bearer for these Paralympics.[12] Aiono finished 11th out of 12 in the event, with a throw of 19.56 meters.[13]
