    Para triathlon was contested at the Paralympic Games for the first time at Rio 2016.

    Athletes race in three disciplines: 750m of swimming, followed by 20km of cycling and 5km of running.

    Competition categories are based on specific physical impairments. Athletes may use a hand cycle, tandem bicycle or bicycle in the cycling portion and wheelchairs are permitted on the running portion of the course.

    The sport is practiced in 37 different countries, and 27 different nations will have held national championship events by the end of 2011.
