  • Explanatory Guide to Paralympic Classification Winter Sports
    EXPLANATORY GUIDE TO PARALYMPIC CLASSIFICATION PARALYMPIC WINTER SPORTS JULY 2020 INTERNATIONAL PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE 2 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this guide is to explain classification and classification systems of Para sports that are currently on the Paralympic Winter Games programme. The document is intended for anyone who wishes to familiarise themselves with classification in the Paralympic Movement. The language in this guide has been simplified in order to avoid complicated medical terms. They do not replace the 2015 IPC Athlete Classification Code and accompanying International Standards but have been written to better communicate how the Paralympic Classification system works. The guide consists of several chapters: 1. Explaining what classification is 2. Guiding through the eligible impairments recognised in the Paralympic Movement 3. Explaining classification systems; and 4. Explaining sport classes per sport on the Paralympic Winter Games programme: • Para alpine skiing • Para ice hockey • Para nordic skiing • Para snowboard • Wheelchair curling INTERNATIONAL PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE 3 WHAT IS CLASSIFICATION? Classification provides a structure for competition. Athletes competing in para- sports have an impairment that leads to a competitive disadvantage. Consequently, a system has been put in place to minimise the impact of impairments on sport performance and to ensure the success of an athlete is determined by skill, fitness, power, endurance, tactical ability and mental focus. The system is called classification. Classification determines who is eligible to compete in a Para sport and it groups the eligible athletes in sport classes according to their activity limitation in a certain sport. TEN ELIGIBLE IMPAIRMENTS The Paralympic Movement offers sport opportunities for athletes with physical, visual and/or intellectual impairments that have at least one of the 10 eligible impairments identified in the table below.
