The Paralympic Games of Paris2024 are on the corner! With only two years to go, this Paralympic cycle is one year shorter than usual due to the postponement of the Tokyo2020 games to 2021. Especially 2023 is an important year for our athletes with the World Championships in Paris, France. But also 2022 still counts: we will hit the track at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England.
Why the need for participation in competitions?
According to the IPC qualification rules the top six (6) ranked athletes of each Individual medal event will obtain one (1) qualification slot for their respective NPC. Also a medal on the World Championships counts. World Para Athletics will establish a 12- month Qualification Ranking for each of the Individual medal events on the Paris 2024 Event Programme. That means our athletes have to perform on the international competitions to obtain a position on the ranking list.
