    Para Athletes with Vision Impairment Classification Fact Sheet

    Para athletes with Vision Impairment Classification Fact Sheet What is Classification? Classification provides a structure for competition. Athletes competing in Paralympic sports have an impairment that leads to a competitive disadvantage in sport. Consequently, a system is in place to minimize 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. In Paralympic sport, the grouping of athletes by the degree of their activity limitation resulting from impairment is called “classification”. Through classification, it is determined which athletes are eligible to compete in a sport and what class an athlete is grouped together for competition. Who is Eligible to be a Para- Athlete with Vision Impairment? Athletes must have a condition that leads to one or more of the following impairment: • Impairment of the eye structure/receptors • Impairment of the optic nerve/optic pathways • Impairment of the visual cortex The athlete’s impairment must be in both eyes and measured with the best eye with best corrected vision and must meet the following minimal eligibility criteria: • Visual acuity is less than or equal to LogMAR 1.00 (6/60 vision) and/or • Visual field that is less than a diameter of 40 degrees (20 degree radius) Which Paralympic Sports include Athletes with Vision Impairment? Paralympic Summer Sports Paralympic Winter Sports Athletics Alpine Skiing Cycling Nordic Skiing Equestrian Football 5 aside Goalball Judo Paratriathlon Rowing Sailing Swimming When is an Athlete Classified? Classification takes place before competitions by a panel of classifiers specializing in visual impairment assessment.
