Classifying
Athletes are evaluated by classifiers, who work in a group called a classification panel. A classification panel evaluates an athlete to ensure the prescence of eligible impairments and allocate a sport class.
These classifiers are trained and certified as officials by the National Federations and International Federations who govern the sport.
Classifiers assessing athletes with the various impairments either have a medical or paramedical background and/or are technical experts in their sport.
