  • Wheelchair Rugby Originally Designed for Para-Athletes with Tetraplegia, Today the Team Sport of Wheelchair Rugby Is Also Played by Those with Other Impairments
    Paralympic Sport Information Wheelchair Rugby Originally designed for Para-Athletes with tetraplegia, today the team sport of Wheelchair Rugby is also played by those with other impairments. Para-Athletes with an eligible impairment are allocated a sport class based on their ability in performing the Wheelchair Rugby skills of ball-handling, such a passing, catching, carrying and dribbling the ball, and wheelchair skills including pushing, starting, stopping, directional changes, tackling and blocking. Wheelchair Rugby is a mixed sport combining both men and women, although the vast majority of leading players are men. The game is now practised in more than 25 countries. Classification In Para-Sport classification provides the structure for fair and equitable competition to ensure that winning is determined by skill, fitness, power, endurance, tactical ability and mental focus – the same factors that account for success in sport for able-bodied athletes. The Para-Sport classification assessment process identifies the eligibility of each Para-Athlete’s impairment, and groups them into a sport class according to the degree of activity limitation resulting from their impairment. Classification is sport-specific as an eligible impairment affects a Para-Athlete’s ability to perform in different sports to a different extent. Each Para-Sport has a different classification system. More information on classification and sport classes is available under ‘Classification detail’ below. Qualification – the road to Rio There are eight qualification slots available at Rio 2016 Paralympics and they can be secured in a number of ways. The winners of the 2014 International Wheelchair Rugby Federation World Championships were awarded a slot, as were four teams via the 2015 zonal championships: European (two), PanAmerican (one) and Asia-Pacific (one).
