Para triathlon combines swimming, cycling, and running in a single race, challenging athletes across three disciplines. The sport requires versatility, endurance, and strategic planning, with athletes competing in various classifications based on the severity of their physical impairments.
Classification:
- PT4 Classification: This classification is for athletes with moderate impairments, such as a mild limp or an arm amputation below the elbow. Competitors in this class can perform most of the triathlon movements with minimal adaptation.
Albertan Athletes Participating:
- Stefan Daniel, Calgary, Alberta (Male), is the only athlete from Alberta participating in the Paris 2024 Paralympics.
