Adaptive athletes have been throwing in highland games regularly for over 6 years now. Without clear and on the books classifications, record keeping has been difficult. To our best knowledge these are the records for Para Standing and Para Seated Classes. Records will be submitted for transfer as classifications are adopted across federations.
