Farthest shot put (F42/F44, male)

The farthest shot put in the F44 and F42 classifications were set by Jackie Christiansen (Denmark) and Darko Kralj (Croatia), respectively. Christiansen threw 18.38 metres in the F44 competition in Olomouc, Czech Republic, on 21 August 2011, and Kralj registered a throw of 14.43 metres in the F42 class during the Paralympic Games at Beijing's National Stadium, China, on 10 September 2008. Athletes with an impairment that affects their arms or legs, including amputees, compete in the F42 and F44 classes. While Kralj's 14.43 metres is a world and Paralympic record in the F42 classification, the Paralympic F44 record is 18.16, set by Christiansen when he won gold at the Games in London, UK, on 31 August 2012.
