International Federation

The IPC acts as the International Federation for nine sports which dates back to the origins of the IPC.

The sports are:

- IPC Alpine Skiing

- IPC Athletics

- IPC Biathlon

- IPC Cross Country Skiing

- IPC Ice Sledge Hockey

- IPC Powerlifting

- IPC Shooting

- IPC Swimming

- IPC Wheelchair Dance Sport

In its role as the International Federation, the IPC is responsible for the management and governance for the sports and fulfils the following roles:

- Management of all technical aspects, such as rules, rankings, records and athlete classification

- Supervision of World Championships and other competitions co-ordinating closely with local organizing committees

- Financial management and administration

- Promotion and communication of each sport

It is the clear desire of the IPC, relevant stakeholders and IPC Sports representatives to transition these nine sports to independence.
