Canada won its initial two awards of the Tokyo Paralympics in Japan on Wednesday. 

In the first place, track cyclist Keely Shaw procured bronze in the C4 3,000-meter singular pursuit. Then, at that point, Aurélie Rivard swam to a similar award in the S10 50m free-form. 

That is generally clear — two decorations, and the Games aren't so much as 24 hours old — yet what are those letter/number modifiers that go before the occasion name?

In sports like swimming and games, there are classes accessible for every one of the 10 types of weaknesses. In any case, in others, for example, goalball, just the outwardly disabled contend. Things are made much simpler in the last as all competitors are blindfolded, making the battleground even and wiping out the requirement for order. 

However, swimmers are coordinated into various classifications relying upon the seriousness of their handicap. The S10 classification where Rivard swims is for those with negligible actual weaknesses. The 25-year-old Canadian, for instance, was brought into the world with an immature left hand. 

For Shaw's situation, the C4 characterization could incorporate competitors with an underneath knee removal and a prosthesis on one leg. Shaw herself experiences left-side loss of motion. 

By and large, a higher number signifies a less extreme inability. The S1 classification in swimming for the most part incorporates competitors who utilize a wheelchair as well as have critical loss of muscle control in their arms, legs and hands. Similarly, cycling's C1 is saved for those with the most extreme actual constraints. 

Each game additionally has its own base disability standards, where worldwide organizations decide dependent upon the situation in case competitors are qualified to contend. It's dependent upon those evaluators to order qualified competitors, as well. 

As various games require various abilities, qualification and characterization can change for those with comparative disabilities. 

Thus Rivard didn't simply win bronze in the 50m free-form — she won in the S10 class. The race will likewise be challenged in S4, S6, S8, S11 and S13. Nos. 11-13 address visual disability, with 14 remaining as the scholarly debilitation class. 

Order can likewise be separated by discipline: S demonstrates free-form, butterfly and backstroke; SB is breaststroke; and SM addresses singular mixture. Different games follow comparative techniques also.
