The LA28 Organising Committee has released the competition schedule by event for the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympic Games, offering the first detailed look at when each Para sport will take place across the 11 days of competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Para powerlifting will once again feature full gender parity, continuing a standard first achieved at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games and maintained at Paris 2024. The LA28 programme mirrors the balanced structure seen in Paris, with 10 men\u2019s and 10 women\u2019s bodyweight categories, ensuring equal competitive opportunities for athletes across all classes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While the bodyweight categories remain consistent with Paris 2024, LA28 introduces a refreshed session layout and a more compact competition flow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
LA28 will announce the competition venue for Para powerlifting later this year. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Para powerlifting has been part of the Paralympic Games medal event programme since New York 1984. Women\u2019s events were introduced at Sydney 2000. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The last edition in Paris saw 176 athletes from 60 countries competing, with China topping the medals table and 24 nations achieving at least one podium finish. Eleven 11 world records were set at Paris 2024. \u00a0<\/p>\n
