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]
