Oceania Triathlon

ITU presented at the IPC VISTA Scientific Conference the progress on the implementation of a sport specific classification system for Paratriathlon, striving for meeting the standards defined by the IPC Classification Code.

This year’s vista main theme is around “Securing the future for young para-athletes” and is taking place between 7 and 11 October.

The development of an evidence-based classification system has been one of the priorities in ITU since it was accepted into the Paralympic Programme in December 2010. A research working group has taken the lead since 2012 to design the methodologies to assess athletes with physical impairments according to their activity limitation in the sport of triathlon.
