Athletics at the 2022 Commonwealth Games – Men's discus throw (F44)/(F64)
This event was part of the athletics program at the 2022 Commonwealth Games held in Birmingham, England. It specifically catered to male athletes with certain types of physical impairments as defined by the F44 and F64 sport classes.
The F44 sport class is generally for athletes with unilateral or combined lower limb impairment, meaning impairment to one or both legs. This may include athletes with limb deficiencies, leg length differences, impaired muscle power or impaired passive range of movement in their legs. Athletes compete without prosthetics in this class.
The F64 sport class is for athletes with limb deficiency, leg length difference, impaired muscle power or impaired passive range of movement in one leg, and who compete with a prosthesis.
This combined event allowed athletes from both F44 and F64 classifications to compete together, with results judged comparatively. The specific rules and regulations for the discus throw event followed the guidelines set by World Para Athletics. The competition featured athletes throwing a discus, aiming for maximum distance within a designated sector. Medals were awarded based on the distance achieved, factoring in any classification-specific considerations.
