Paralympic rowing classification
LTA-B1 is an adaptive rowing classification. The classifications were developed and current as of March 2011.[1]
Definition
Rowing Australia defines this classification as "athletes with a visual impairment (LTA-B1, LTA-B2 and LTA-B3)" [1]
Events
Rowers in this classification compete in single and sculls for club, state, and national competitions. In international competitions, they compete in mixed cox fours sculls, with a maximum of two visually impaired rowers in the boat.[1][2]
Becoming classified
Classification is handled by FISA – International Rowing Federation.[3]
Australians seeking classification through Rowing Australia as a visually impaired rower need to provide evidence of having been classified by an International Blind Sports Federation (IBSA) classifier or an Australian Paralympic Committee vision impairment classifier.[4]
