Farthest discus throw (F51/F52/F53, male)

Japan's Toshie Oi (F53, 26.62 metres), Latvia's Aigars Apinis (F52, 21.00 metres) and Algeria's Mohamed Berrahal (F51, 12.37 metres) have achieved the farthest distances in the three classifications that are eligible for this event, which is for wheelchair users who throw from a seated position. Oi set his record in Okayama, Japan, on 30 September 2006, while Apinis and Berrahal re-wrote the record books in the F51/F52/F53 discus final at the Paralympic Games in London, UK, on 6 September 2012, when Berrahal claimed the gold medal and Apinis silver after the distances were adjusted to take into account the level of impairment.
