The 2015 IPC Athletics Grand Prix series in numbers

The 2015 Grand Prix series may be over – but it is certainly not forgotten. With nine Grand Prix taking place around the world this year - from Australia to Brazil, China to Italy – here is a review in numbers to remind you what happened.

Of course the Grand Prix Final is still to come – that event takes place in London, Great Britain, on Sunday 26 July; then in August the Parapan American Games take place in Toronto, Canada. And in just four months’ time the IPC Athletics World Championships get underway in Doha, Qatar, where many more memorable moments will surely be made.
