Classification
It is the purpose of the IPC Powerlifting
Classification Committee to allow any athlete with a physical disability to
engage in international competitions, provided that he/she meets the standards
of minimum disability that are published by IPC Powerlifting or any other
authorized organization dealing with athletes with a physical
disability.
If an athlete has significantly impaired kinesiology of the
upper body, which the classification team sees as a potential high risk for
injury, this athlete may not be eligible. All eligible participants must be
determined physically fit by a physician.
