Archery at the 2016 Summer Paralympics will be held between 10 and 17 September 2016 at the Sambadrome Marquês de Sapucaí〔(Ticket Guide ), published by rio2016.org, official website of the 2016 Summer Paralympics.〕 in the Maracana zone of Rio de Janeiro, and shall consist of nine events.〔()〕 The make up of those events has changed substantially from the 2012 games, and now consists of three men's events, three women's events and three events for mixed gender teams. Each gender category has two compound events, one for wheelchair athletes, one open, and an open recurve event. ==Classification and events== Paralympic archers are given a classification depending on the type and extent of their disability. The classification system allowed archers to compete against others with a similar level of function. The categories have been reduced by one for 2016, with the two wheelchair classifications combined, and the replacement of 'standing' with an 'open' category. The W1 classification for wheelchair archers has been retained.〔 There are two categories of competition in Paralympic archery: * Open - Athletes have an impairment in the legs and use a wheelchair or have a balance impairment and shoot standing or resting on a stool. Open category athletes may shoot in six events, in both recurve or compound competitions, under standard rules; * W1 - Athletes may have impairment in the legs and make use of a wheelchair. W1 athletes may shoot either a recurve or a compound bow modified from standard rules, across three events. There are no separate competitions for the two disciplines, and in practice the W1 contests will be predominatly compound bow, as these take less power to wield than the recurve.〔 A third category, V1, for visually impaired archers, is not part of the 2016 Games.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Archery at the 2016 Summer Paralympics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
