Ana Maia - Classification Manager, Paralympics Ireland

Today I catch up with Ana Maia, Classification Manager with @paralympicsireland. Classification is an essential, yet complex component of Para Sport and in this episode Ana does an amazing job of explaining what classification is, why it is necessary and how the system works. Why do we have multiple Paralympic Champions in the same event? Who is eligible to compete? How are sport classifications awarded? Can an athlete's classification change? We answer these questions and more in the latest episode of Win Win, available now! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
