Summer Paralympics appearances (overview)

Togo sent a delegation to the 2020 Summer Paralympics held in Tokyo, Japan from 24 August to 5 September 2021. This marks the nation's second appearance at a Paralympic Games.[1]

Background

Togo first participated at the 2016 Summer Paralympics after Aliou Bawa was given a spot for Powerlifting.[2]

The International Paralympic Committee offered free-to-air coverage to Togo during the games.[3]

The flag handing ceremony of the Togo flag was handed at the Prime Minister's office by Victoire Tomegah Dogbé on 13 July 2021.[4]

Disability classifications

Main article: Disability sport classification

Every participant at the Paralympics has their disability grouped into one of five disability categories; amputation, the condition may be congenital or sustained through injury or illness; cerebral palsy; wheelchair athletes, there is often overlap between this and other categories; visual impairment, including blindness; Les autres, any physical disability that does not fall strictly under one of the other categories, for example dwarfism or multiple sclerosis.[5][6] Each Paralympic sport then has its own classifications, dependent upon the specific physical demands of competition. Events are given a code, made of numbers and letters, describing the type of event and classification of the athletes competing. Some sports, such as athletics, divide athletes by both the category and severity of their disabilities, other sports, for example swimming, group competitors from different categories together, the only separation being based on the severity of the disability.[7]

Athletics
