One to keep an eye on is France flag bearer Alexis Hanquinquant, who aims to splash the Seine.
Starting the circuit at the Pont Alexandre Bridge on the Seine, Para triathlon adopts the Paris 2024 "Games wide open" tagline.
Originally scheduled to minimize the effect of the weather on the competition, the event starts on September 1 and features all eleven medal events on the same day.
With six men's and five women's events for up to 120 competitors, both sexes compete under several categories.
The three-part course of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games comprises the Avenue Montaigne and Pont des Invalides, a 750-meter swim in the Seine river, and a 20-kilometer cycle down the renowned Champs-Elysees. After a 5-km run to the Quai d'Orsay, para athletes will then return to Pont Alexandre.
Originally introduced at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, para triathlon has grown to be a regular feature of the Paralympic schedule.
Right now, USA and Great Britain rule the sport. The USA boasts nine medals altogether, five of which are gold; the British have seven medals total, two of which are gold.
With two gold medals apiece, Netherlands and Germany have also shown really strongly. Athletes on the Paralympic podium come from twelve different nations.
