Para Specifications

This page chronicles the technical specifications for each event per classification and age group, and the baseline percentages against which Oceania Masters Athletics will determine athlete percentage for each event.

These baseline percentages will also be utilised as a Standard in lieu of an available record due to the 2025 Oceania Masters Athletics Championships being the first International Masters Athletics event to incorporate Para categories and such standards have not previously existed. Athletes who improve on these standards will create an Oceania Masters Athletics record, which can only be accomplished at the OMA Championships.

Athletes will compete with their age cohort alongside the corresponding able-bodied event. Seated Throws will be the only stand alone event due to setup requirements. Athletes wishing to compete in Seated Throws (Shot Put and Discus) will need to complete an Expression of Interest during registration. The date and time of event will be notified as soon as possible.

Please note that classifications for each event are modeled on the Athletics Australia format.
