How is it decided which athletes are fit to compete against each other in the Paralympic Games, considering that vast differences in many types of physical deformities?
In: Culture
Each sport has a committee that develops the various classifications. I think swimming has like 15? Some of them are for impairments to the limbs, some are for visual impairments, some are for hearing impairments.
So you basically just look up for your sport which category you fit into. It’s not like guys with one leg are sprinting against blind guys with two legs. That wouldn’t be very fair.
