Events At The 2006 Winter Paralympics




Several disability classes that raced separately in the 2002 Winter Paralympics raced together at the 2006 Paralympics. Competitors are given a ''factored time'' based on their ''real time'' and the level of disability of the competitor. This resulted in a decrease in the number of medals on offer.
