The World Para Athletics Junior Championships are a biennial Paralympic athletics event organized by World Para Athletics, a subcommittee of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). It features athletics events contested by athletes with physical and intellectual disabilities in two age groups; under 20 and under 18. The first Championships were held in Nottwil, Switzerland in 2017, and will return there for the second edition in 2019.[1] They are a partial Paralympic parallel to the IAAF World U20 Championships for able-bodied athletes, although both junior (under 20) and youth (under 18) events are held in the Paralympic equivalent.[2][3][4]
