The purpose of classification is to define who is eligible to compete in a Para sport. Athletes with an eligible impairment are grouped into sports classes, according to how much their impairment affects their ability to carry out the fundamental activities in a specific sport.
The aim of classification is to achieve fair competition by minimising the impact that the impairment has on the outcome of competition, so that sporting ability, skill level and training alone are the determinants of success and the result.
