Athletes who participate in archery competitions in Paralympic Games are generally disabled people with spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy and physical disability. According to the disability category, they are divided into three levels and eight items: male and female ARW 1 (sitting posture 1), ARW2 (sitting posture 2), ARST (standing posture) and group * * *. In official competitions, some levels are usually merged according to the number of participants. In the World Championships and other competitions, there are sometimes events such as compound bows and crossbows, while all previous Paralympic Games are only held in recurve bow. Recently, the international archery organization for the disabled discussed and approved the competition of adding compound bows according to procedures at relevant meetings. Every level of competition needs to be ranked first. The qualifying for the Paralympic Games is 70-meter double-wheel qualifying, that is, each player shoots 72 arrows (36 arrows in a single wheel) at a distance of 70 meters, and the ranking is based on the final total number of rings. According to the ranking, the knockout will be conducted in a confrontational way, and the ranking of the knockout will be the final result of the athlete's participation in the Paralympic Games.

Archery was listed as an official event in the first Paralympic Games in Rome in 1960. After nearly half a century's development, there are currently 37 countries in the world to carry out this sport, and this number is still growing.

Section 2 Track and Field Sports

Track and field events originated from rehabilitation activities of various kinds of disabilities, and gradually developed into Paralympic track and field events after World War II. After more than half a century of development and evolution, track and field events have gradually been included in various disability categories. In order to make athletes of all kinds of disabilities in a relatively equal environment, it is necessary to conduct classified competitions. For example, visual disability is divided into three grades: B 1, B2 and B3 (B is the prefix of the English word Blind for the blind). Different grades will also have corresponding special rules. Therefore, track and field has become the category, level and event with the largest number of disabled people in all Paralympic Games, and its organization is also the most complicated. There are 205 events in the track and field competition of Athens Paralympic Games. After the "slimming" merger, there will be more than 60 events in the track and field competition of Beijing Paralympic Games in 2008.

Section 3 Hard Bowling (Hard Bowling)

Hard bowling originated in Italy 20 years ago and then became popular in Europe. Because of its easy-to-master skills and simple rules, it is deeply loved by people with disabilities. This activity is especially suitable for people with severe spasms, cerebral palsy or severe physical disabilities.

During the competition, the athlete must throw the ball in a wheelchair and calculate the score according to the distance between the ball and the target ball (that is, the center ball). The person closest to the target ball scores, and the person with the highest cumulative score wins. Starting from 1992, this event was officially listed as a Paralympic Games event, with a total of 7 gold medals.

Section 4 Cycling

Cycling in Paralympic Games is similar to cycling in Olympic Games, and it is also divided into circuit race and road race. Athletes are composed of some or all athletes with visual impairment, cerebral palsy, physical disability or other permanent physical disabilities. Blind people use two-wheeled bicycles when riding bicycles, and cyclists are passive healthy athletes; Physically disabled athletes with severe lower limbs disabilities use a pedal bicycle pedal; Athletes with lower limb disabilities can also use hand-cranked bicycles to participate in the competition; Athletes with severe cerebral palsy can use tricycles to participate in the competition. Cycling is a new sport for the disabled. At the earliest, only athletes with visual impairment used tandem bicycles to participate in competitions. Cycling road race first appeared in 1988 Seoul Paralympic Games, which marked that cycling officially became a Paralympic event. 1996 Atlanta Paralympic Games added track cycling.

Bicycle is the gold medal winner of Paralympic Games, second only to track and swim. The cycling competition of the 2004 Athens Paralympic Games was divided into two stages: track race and road race.
