Paralympics athletics schedule: When are the track and field events taking place in Tokyo?

Team GB hoping to emulate gold medal haul of Olympian counterparts in Japan

The Paralympic Games kicks off in Tokyo on Tuesday 24 August and runs until Sunday 5 September, picking up the baton from an Olympics that proved the doubters wrong and enthralled spectators across the world.

An estimated 4,350 athletes from 160 countries will take part in 539 events across 22 sports in 21 venues in Japan, beginning with an exciting schedule of track cycling, swimming and wheelchair fencing on day one.

The athletics events are expected to be one of the biggest draws as usual, having a long tradition at the Paralympics dating back to the Stoke Mandeville Games of 1952 in which many Second World War veterans took part.

By the Rome Games of 1960, 21 men and 10 women from 10 countries were participating in 25 medal events and the competition had become an established fixture.

One difference between the athletics events at the Olympics and Paralympics is that competitors in the latter are divided into categories or “sport classes” according to what extent their impairment affects their performance to ensure no participant has an unfair advantage over another.

Below is a complete list of all the track, road and field events scheduled for the upcoming Games, all of which will take place at the Olympic Stadium in the Japanese capital with two sessions taking place on several days between 27 August and 5 September with so much to cram in.

You can read the full schedule for all other Paralympic events at the official Tokyo 2020 site.
