What is classification . . .?
Classification helps to define which athletes are eligible to compete in each of the sports. It also helps to ensure a level playing field by grouping athletes into classes based on their ability to perform a certain activity.
How are athletes’ classification defined . . .? Every athlete competing at the Games has gone through an evaluation, conducted by authorised technical officials called “classifiers”, who are appointed by the international governing body of that particular sport. It is a long-term and in some cases ongoing process which takes place at all major events, before and during completion.
How does it work . . .?
Classifiers assess the athletes’ impairment and how it impacts on their ability to perform certain functions in the sport. After each evaluation the athletes are assigned a sport class.
