T11 (classification)

T11 and B1 are disability sport classification for disability athletics.

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."[1]

Sport

Visualisation of functional vision for a T11 classified competitor

This classification is for disability athletics.[2] This classification is one of three classifications for athletes with visual impairment. They are T11, T12 and T13.[3] Jane Buckley, writing for the Sporting Wheelies, describes the athletes in this classification as: "B1 athletes – see IBSA classes (appendix) T12 B2"[2] The classification in the appendix by Buckley goes on to say "An athlete in this class will either have no light perception at all in either eye or may have some light perception but an inability to recognise the shape of a hand at any distance or in any direction"[2] The Australian Paralympic Committee defines this classification as being for "From no light perception in either eye to light perception, but inability to recognise the shape of a hand at any distance or in any direction." [4]

Athletes in this class are allowed to use guides in competition.[5] Runners may also get assistance at water stations in longer races.[6]

For the 2008 Summer Paralympics, classification assignment for this class was handled by the IPC.[7]

Becoming classified

For Australian athletics competitors seeking to be classified in this category, they need to undergo a classification evaluation where they will earn either provisional or national certification depending on who the evaluators are. Athletes undergo a medical examination and are asked to demonstrate their skills in athletics. They may also be asked to demonstrate other sport related skills such as jumping rope or swimming. A determination is then made as to what an classification an athlete should compete in.[8]

World records

In the 100m event, the men's world record is held by Lucas Prado and the women's world record is held by Terezinha Guilhermina.[9]
