Athletics at the 2010 Commonwealth Games – Men's shot put (F32/34/52)

This event was one of the para-sport athletics events held as part of the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India. It comprised a single shot put competition for male athletes with specific disability classifications: F32, F34, and F52.

The "F" prefix in the classification indicates a field event. The numbers represent the level and type of impairment. In this specific event:

  • F32: Athletes in this class typically have significant limitations in arm and hand function, often due to conditions like cerebral palsy or traumatic brain injury. They usually compete from a seated position.
  • F34: Athletes in this class have moderate limitations in arm and leg function. They usually have better trunk control than F32 athletes and may also compete from a seated position.
  • F52: Athletes in this class have impairments affecting both arms and legs, typically resulting from spinal cord injuries. They have limited trunk stability and compete from a seated position, often using straps for support.

The event was structured to allow athletes from these three classes to compete together, with results often adjusted using a points system to account for the different levels of impairment. The objective was to provide a fair and competitive environment despite the varied disabilities of the participants. The scoring methodology ensured that the athlete with the best performance relative to their impairment classification would be declared the winner.
