Since the 1984 Summer Paralympics, the cycling sport has been appearing. Cyclists are given a classification depending on the type and extent of their disability. The classification system allows cyclists to compete against others with a similar level of function. Lots of changes in the cycling tournament.

Athletes are classified according to their functional ability across four broad categories (blind or partially sighted tandem, handcycle, tricycle and standard bicycle). Specialized equipment including prostheses is only allowed where it has been specifically approved.
