How does the Paralympic classification system work?
帕運的分類系統如何運作?
classification 分類
athlete 運動員
cornerstone 基石/基礎
eligible 有資格的
impairment 損傷/損害
prowess 高超的技能
Like the Olympics, the Paralympics are taking place a year after originally planned because of the delay caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
如同奧運，由於新冠肺炎大流行造成延誤，帕運比原計畫晚了一年舉行。
According to the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), there are 2550 male and 1853 female athletes taking part in Games, which run from August 24 to September 5.
根據國際帕運委員會(IPC)的統計，從8月24日到9月5日舉行的帕運，有2550名男性運動員和1853名女性運動員參與。
"Classification is the cornerstone of the Paralympic Movement, it determines which athletes are eligible to compete in a sport and how athletes are grouped together for competition,' says the IPC.
IPC說:「分類是帕運的基石，它決定哪些運動員有資格參加某項運動，以及如何分組參加比賽。」
What makes a Paralympian?
是什麼造就一位帕運運動員?
Paralympians are grouped together by the "degree of activity limitation resulting from the impairment," according to the IPC.
根據IPC的說法，帕運運動員是根據"因損傷導致的活動受限程度"來分組的。
As different sports require different physical demands, the IPC says the classification process "aims to minimize the impact of the impairment on athletes' performance" so that their athletic prowess is showcased.
由於不同的運動項目需要不同的身體需求，IPC表示分類的過程中，旨在"最大限度減少損傷對運動員表現造成的影響"，以便展示他們高超的運動技能。
What do the classes in each sport mean?
每項運動的分類代表什麼?
The class groups athletes with similar athletic limitations so that they can compete to similar levels, but does not necessarily have to solely group athletes with the same eligible impairment.
分類會將具有相似運動限制的運動員分組在一起，讓他們以相似的水平競爭，但不一定必須將具有相同缺陷條件的運動員分在一起。
Because some impairments progress over time, athletes can change classification over time.
由於一些損傷會隨著時間流逝而有進展，因此運動員可以隨著時間而更改分類。
