Do they have wheelchair hurdles in the paralympics?

If they do then how does it work? I would've thought they'd have hurdles.|||If you've ever have the opportunity to attend a Para Olympic meet you'd be amazed what these athletes can do in their sprints/LDR in wheelchairs. The racing chair is expensive that these athletes use. It's amazing their upper arm strength and how fast they can get the chairs moving, and yes they do have crashes. Just try to figure out who was at fault, it's hard.


Some throwers also are strapped into chairs for shot put. As for javelin, standing/run up stance is used by some athletes.


Field implements are inspected for the correct weight %26amp; densty and must conform to the rules of play.


Blind runners are led by a sighted runner (wears a vest indicating he's the helper) by a rope or other suitable lead, however the blind runnner must finish first.


No there aren't any hurdles for these athletes.|||They have blind and amputee long jump and high jump


They have Judo for the vision impaired too.





My cousin had a good joke about wheelchair hurdles with What this and actions of push and then hand to the head.


And wheel chair long jump over a ramp.


In Sydney I went to the Paralympic games to watch and I asked some of the athletes about wheelchair long jump and they laughed.|||Lord, he apologizes for that....|||I really hope that's not your attempt at a joke because its not funny.|||Yes, but I prefer the pole-vault|||yeh , but these only one thing better then the pole vault,,, wrestling! take that! oh no , you broke my spoke.. how dare YOU!!!!! lol|||Do they have meds for morons like you?|||No... but that made me laugh|||idk.. u should like go find out somewhere on the internet
