As the majority of sports for persons
with a disability, Archery originally
started as a rehabilitation and recreation
activity. Over the past fifty years, this
sport gives the chance to athletes with a
disability to practice their expertise,
accuracy, strength, and concentration.
Athletes
with a physical disability such as spinal
injuries, cerebral palsy, amputations and
Les Autres take part in the Paralympic Games
Archery. Athletes fall into three classes. Their aim is to shoot arrows
accurately at a 122-cm diameter target, 70
meters away. There are both
individual and team events. |
