2012 Summer Paralympics

S12 (classification)
S12, SB12, SM12 are disability swimming classifications used for categorising swimmers based on their level of disability. History The classification was created by the International Paralympic Committee and has roots in a 2003 attempt to address "the overall objective to support and co-ordinate the ongoing development of accurate, reliable, consistent and credible sport focused classification systems and their implementation." For the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio, the International Paralympic Committee had a zero classification at the Games policy. This policy was put into place in 2014, with the goal of avoiding last minute changes in classes that would negatively impact athlete training preparations. All competitors needed to be internationally classified with their classification status confirmed prior to the Games, with exceptions to this policy being dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Sport This classification is for swimming. In the classification title, S represen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
