ID (classification)

ID is a Paralympic rowing classification. The classifications were developed and current as of March 2011.[1]

Definition

Rowing Australia defines this classification as "Rowers with an intellectual disability [Rowers with an intellectual disability are not eligible to compete at the Paralympics at the time of publication (March 2011)]" [1]

Events

Rowers in this classification compete in single and double sculls for club, state and national competitions. In international competitions, they compete in a mixed coxed four.[1]

Becoming classified

Classification is handled by FISA – International Rowing Federation.[2]

Australians seeking classification through Rowing Australia need to provide several documents to a classifier at the time of application, including an AUSRAPID accreditation card, or International Sports Federation for Persons with an Intellectual Impairment (INAS-FID) ID card.[3]
