INTRODUCTION
6 | ATHLETICS Explanatory Guide Introduction
Welcome to Rio 2016 The Rio 2016 Paralympic Games will demonstrate the determination of all Brazilians in delivering the greatest festival on Earth, proudly advancing, through sport, the national mantra of progress. These pages offer a brief introduction to Rio de Janeiro, its Paralympic heritage, the city’s plans for the Games and the benefits they will bring to Rio and Brazil.
Rio, then and now The former capital of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro is located in the state of the same name on the south-eastern strip of the country’s Atlantic coast. It is one of the most visited cities in the southern hemisphere. In January 1502, the second exploratory expedition by the Portuguese, led by Captain Gaspar de Lemos, reached Guanabara Bay. Legend has it that he entered the bay believing it to be a river, so he named it Rio de Janeiro, literally translated as “River of January”.
Rio is a picture-postcard city, with lush green mountains, lakes, blue oceans and miles of white, sandy beaches. It is the home of Sugarloaf mountain, Maracanã stadium, Guanabara Bay and, overlooking it all, the statue of Christ the Redeemer. It is no wonder Rio is known as the “Marvellous City”. The friendliness of cariocas (as Rio locals are known) can be witnessed in the streets, in the bars and at the beach.
CLIMATE Rio de Janeiro benefits from a mild to warm climate during the winter month of September. Based on statistics from recent years, athletes can expect an average daily high of around 22-23°C (72-73°F) in the Paralympic Village. On average, relative humidity ranges from a minimum of approximately 60 per cent to a maximum of approximately 80 per cent. The average monthly rainfall during September is 68 millimetres; the prevailing winds are from the south-west and south-east. The average daylight hours in Rio de Janeiro at Games time (August and September) are from 6.00am to 6.00pm.

7 | ATHLETICS Explanatory Guide Introduction
The city’s Paralympic heritage Brazil is a nation with sport in its blood and has always been a serious competitor in the Paralympic Games. Never content with just taking part, the country has long dreamt of hosting the world’s biggest sporting event. Brazil’s first bid to host the Olympic Games came in 1932, to host the 1936 Games, but Rio de Janeiro failed to advance past the International Olympic Committee’s initial selection phase. Sixty years later, Brasília was a candidate for the 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games, until its bid was withdrawn in the first phase. But Brazilian hopes were not dashed, rooted as they were in a deep belief in the value of the Games, and with the certainty that hosting them would boost national development efforts. With firm, unyielding commitment, the groundwork was already being laid on a path that, with each bid, was taking on an ever more clearly defined direction.
Rio de Janeiro’s next attempt was to host the 2004 Olympic and Paralympic Games, but again it did not pass the initial selection phase. The Committee’s General Assembly made a strategic decision to focus on a Rio bid for the 2007 Pan and Parapan American Games, with a commitment to making it the biggest and best such games ever held. Competitors and managers were determined to work towards ensuring that the cream of Brazilian athletes would compete on home soil, at a truly impressive event in state-of-the-art arenas. At the same time, Rio prepared its bid for the 2012 Games, in which the city was up against stiff competition. Despite the acknowledged quality of its bid, it was eliminated from the Candidate City shortlist.
Rio’s 2004 and 2012 bids were part of an ongoing process in which the city’s positive points were strengthened, and the weaker areas addressed, to provide the structure for the next Olympic and Paralympic bid. In 2007, the organisers of the Pan and Parapan American Games exceeded all expectations, delivering the best edition in these games’ history. The capacity to stage and promote a major sporting event had been proven, and recognition for all the effort expended did not take long to arrive: on 2 October 2009, after a hard-fought campaign, Rio de Janeiro won the right to host the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the first to be held on South American soil.

Located in Rio de Janeiro’s Zona Sul, or southern area, it boasts a beautiful, crescent-shaped beach that stretches more than four kilometres and is one of the most eye-catching images in the city. On Sundays, the lanes of Avenida Atlântica — the beachfront avenue — are closed to cars, so that the carioca population and visitors can enjoy the pleasant promenade atmosphere. Families and people of all ages may practise sport, swim in the ocean or simply relax: this is the Copacabana spirit. With its world-famous beaches, beautiful mountains and globally recognisable landmarks, including Sugarloaf and Corcovado, the Copacabana zone will be the perfect setting for the road competitions.

The zone, though part of Zona Norte, the northern area, is located close to the city centre. Hundreds of people visit the Maracanã complex every day, where they take advantage of its spaces for physical exercise, such as walking and jogging. Maracanã will host the Opening and Closing ceremonies of the Paralympic Games. The Archery competition will take place in the Sambódromo, while the Olympic Stadium will be home to Athletics. In total, the Maracanã zone will house three (3) Paralympic venues, with two (2) sports taking place.

Aquece Rio Aquece Rio (‘Rio Warms Up’) is the test event programme for the Paralympic Games. The test events organised by Rio 2016 will be under the banner of the Aquece Rio series, while others will be staged by the respective International Sports Federations or Brazilian Federations.
In total, 45 test events will have been staged when the programme, which finishes in May 2016, is completed.
The programme will include 34 Olympic, six Paralympic and four joint Olympic and Paralympic test events. More than 7,700 athletes will get a taste of the host city and around 16,000 volunteers will participate in the test events, which will take place across 156 days of competition in total.
There will be three clusters of events, the first between July and October 2015, focusing on outdoor events to provide athletes with the same climatic conditions that can be expected at Games time. The second, from November 2015 to February 2016, will be more focused on indoor events, while the last, between March and May 2016, will allow preparations to be finalised.
Just before the one-year-to-go mark, the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) organised the first 2015 test event, with the FIVB World League Finals taking place from 15 to 19 July in the Maracanãzinho, followed by the Olympic and Paralympic Triathlon event in Copacabana on 1 and 2 August; the World Rowing Junior Championships at Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, from 5 to 9 August; and the Equestrian event at the Olympic Equestrian Centre in Deodoro from 6 to 9 August.
10 | ATHLETICS Explanatory Guide Introduction
The events provide an important opportunity to test the competition areas and results systems, as well as integrating all the relevant stakeholders and training the team of people who will be responsible for running the events during the Games.
For more details about the test events schedule, please visit www.aquecerio.com/en.
Celebra Celebra, the Rio 2016 culture programme, will consist of a great celebration of Brazilian and international culture, mainly through free events to be held in public spaces, aiming to expand access to culture and incorporate it into day-to-day city life. Besides interactive installations encouraging engagement with the Rio 2016 Games, there will be a strong artistic programme, emphasising proponents of national and international culture.
The Celebra programme will embody Brazilian history and take it to the streets like never before. Access to culture, in the broadest sense, is at the heart of the programme, which is divided into six segments: literature, dance, music, visual arts, performing arts and everyday life.
After the Games The Rio 2016 Games will be a catalyst for change in Rio de Janeiro and Brazil, leaving a positive transformation and lasting legacy not only in terms of sport, but also for society, the economy, urban infrastructure and environment. More details about Rio 2016’s legacy can be found on the Rio Exchange.

GENERAL INFORMATION
45 | ATHLETICS Explanatory Guide General information
Accreditation Accreditation is the process of identifying individuals and their roles at the Paralympic Games, whilst ensuring that they are granted appropriate access to fulfil their roles. Accreditation also ensures that all Games participants are granted entry into Brazil for the Games. A basic summary of the Accreditation process is given below; full details will be provided in the Accreditation application materials that will be available on the Rio Exchange in January 2016.
ACCREDITATION TIMELINE The deadline for accreditation applications is 23:59 Rio de Janeiro time (GMT-3) on 27 May 2016. A complete accreditation application consists of a completed accreditation application and an acceptable photograph.
NPCs are responsible for submitting all accreditation applications directly to Rio 2016. To ensure compliance with data-protection principles, all applications should be submitted through the eAccreditation (ECR) module of the Games Management System.
Eligibility Code Forms As required by the IPC Handbook, all individuals submitted in the following NPC accreditation categories must complete an Eligibility Code Form (ECF), acknowledging their compliance with IPC and IF rules regarding Games participation:
• Aa – athletes
• Ab – athlete competition partners
• Ac – Chefs de Mission, Deputy Chefs de Mission, Paralympic Attachés
• Am, Ao and As (primary and additional team officials)
• P – personal coaches and training partners
• NPC horse owners
Without a signed form, an athlete will not be able to compete and team officials will not be eligible for accreditation at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
The following are key accreditation dates for athletes, team officials and dignitaries:
DATE APPLIES TO ACTIVITY
January 2016 ALL Rio 2016 publishes the NPC Accreditation Manual, Sport Entries Manual and associated materials on the Rio Exchange

dignitary (Aa, Ab, Ac, Ao, Am, As, P, NPC, NPC**) accreditation applications to Rio 2016 through the ECR module

15 July 2016 ATHLETES Sport Entries (SEQ) module opens for sport entries submission
15 August 2016 ATHLETES Deadline for NPCs to submit sport entries to Rio 2016 through the SEQ module
PRE-VALID CARDS (PVCs)
Rio 2016 will produce Pre-Valid Cards for all NPC delegates whose attendance at the Games has been confirmed during the Pre-DRMs. The production and distribution process will commence as soon as the Pre-DRMs have been completed.
Holders of Pre-Valid Cards (PVCs) or Paralympic Identity and Accreditation Cards (PIAC — the PVC once it has been validated) may enter Brazil multiple times from 5 July 2016 until 28 October 2016 upon presentation of their card and a valid travel document, such as a passport or national ID for Mercosur nationals (passport holders of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela) without requiring a separate entry visa. Rio 2016 will work with airlines and immigration services worldwide to ensure that all necessary authorities are aware that the PVC can be used as a visa waiver to travel to Brazil for the Games.
Note that the PVC will not act as a visa waiver or transit visa for any other country. Individuals transiting through another country are responsible for obtaining the necessary entry/transit documentation.
Individuals using their PVC or validated PIAC as an entry document must ensure that their travel document is valid beyond 31 December 2016 and that it is the same document that was provided to Rio 2016 during the accreditation application.
ACCREDITATION CARD VALIDATION Individuals arriving in Brazil through Rio de Janeiro’s Tom Jobim International Airport (GIG) will be able to validate their PVCs at the airport, provided that their NPC’s DRM has been completed. Validation desks will be located at both terminals after immigration and before baggage claim.
Individuals arriving through other ports of entry, including Santos Dumont Domestic Airport, should proceed to the appropriate main accreditation centre to complete the accreditation validation process.
Each individual must attend an accreditation facility in person to complete the validation process. Individuals should bring their PVC and the valid identity document that was provided to Rio 2016 in the accreditation application.
Accreditation facilities Rio 2016’s Accreditation team will be present at all competition venues, as well as operating the main accreditation centres in the relevant locations for each client group.
The table below lists all accreditation facilities and the services provided:

• Competition venues (ticket box offices will operate on competition days at the relevant venues)
COMPLIMENTARY SPORT TICKETSAthletes and officials may access the athletes’ stand during competition for their own discipline(s) without a ticket, upon presentation of their accreditation. In order to watch competitions at venues in disciplines other than their own, athletes and officials will require a ticket. A limited number of complimentary Different Discipline Athlete (DDA) tickets are available for all sport disciplines.
NPC Chefs de Mission may request complimentary sport tickets for their delegation members a day before the event through an electronic ticket request system. Complimentary tickets will be limited in number, and demand is expected to exceed supply for many venues. NPC Relations and Services will allocate tickets according to availability, delegation size and NPC participation in the relevant sport. Chefs de Mission, or their ticketing proxy card holders, will be able to collect tickets from the NPC Services Centre in the Paralympic Village the evening before the sessions.

Accommodation During the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, the Paralympic Village will accommodate around 8,000 athletes and team officials. In addition, grooms will reside in specific grooms’ accommodation. A brief summary of the Paralympic Village follows below. For details of medical services at the Paralympic Village and other accommodations, see p52.
PARALYMPIC VILLAGE The Paralympic Village is located in the Barra venue zone, in the south-west of the city, in close proximity to Riocentro and the Barra Olympic Park. The Village will officially open at 8.00am on 31 August 2016 and close at 6.00pm on 21 September 2016.
The Paralympic Village has a plaza and a residential zone. The residential zone is restricted to residents. It contains the accommodation, recreational and catering facilities, as well as transport services to competition and training venues. The Village Plaza and residential zones will be separated by internal fencing and access control. Guests may enter the residential zone from the Village Plaza only if accompanied at all times by Village residents with ‘R’ on their accreditation.
Beginning at 8.00am on 31 August — and only once the NPC has completed their DRM and Inspection & Inventory (I&I) — will the athletes and team officials be able to access the Paralympic Village.
Accommodation Athletes and officials will be accommodated in five condominiums which are made up of 21 buildings with 17 floors each. The apartments have between two and five bedrooms with up to seven beds. All social spaces will have soft furnishings (sofa and beanbags), a coffee table, a television with a live feed from the venues and free wireless internet (Wi-Fi) access.
Resident centres and services There will be a resident centre in each of the five condominiums, with two centres open 24 hours a day and three operating from 7.00am until 10.00pm. Each resident centre will provide a front desk hotel-like service that will assist with the resolution of issues relating to accommodation services in the Village, housekeeping requests and maintenance issues. They will also provide a concierge service, Info+ terminals, internet access, a lounge and meeting facilities.
The Paralympic Village will provide a multi-faith centre for worship and meditation. It will be staffed by representatives of the following religions: Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism. It is open to people of all religions and faiths.
Food servicesThe Main Dining Hall will be located in the residential zone, adjacent to the transport mall, and will operate on a 24-hour basis from 31 August until 21 September 2016. A menu, rotated on an eight-day cycle, will provide a wide range of meal choices and cater to all nutritional needs. A McDonald’s restaurant and McCafé will also be located in the Main Dining Hall. Additional dining options in the Village will include a ‘grab-and-go’ station at every condominium, an outdoor casual dining area and the Plaza Café.
49 | ATHLETICS Explanatory Guide General information
From 31 August until 18 September 2016, Athlete Venue Meals (AVM) will be available for athletes and officials who will be away from the Village for competition or training for more than four hours. AVMs must be ordered from the SIC at the Paralympic Village 48 hours in advance. Meals will be prepared at the venue to be collected from the Athletes’ Lounge. These packed meals will include a sandwich, salad, piece of fruit and a sweet item.
Resident entertainment and recreation An Athletes’ Lounge, music area and video game room will be available to Paralympic Village residents for relaxation at the Paralympic Village Entertainment Centre. An internet lounge will be located in the Village Plaza and will be open 24 hours a day from 31 August until 21 September.
Athlete fitness and sport recreation The Paralympic Village will contain a gym with a good selection of cardiovascular equipment, resistance machines and free weights, as well as space for stretching and warming up/down.
Each condominium will have a dedicated recreational shallow swimming pool, which will be available for use by residents from 9.00am until 5.00pm daily.
The Paralympic Village will have an area with courts for recreational sports activities. Note that equipment will not be provided.
Residents will also be able to use a transport service from the Athlete Transport Mall to the Paralympic Village Beach, which is located in the Barra zone. Lounge chairs and beach umbrellas will be available free of charge to athletes and team officials.
Village Plaza The Village Plaza is a place for residents and guests to purchase retail items and souvenirs, as well as providing essential support services. It is also an area where Paralympic Village residents and their guests can meet. Some shops and services within the Paralympic Village Plaza will operate on a user-pay basis, while others are free of charge for athletes and officials. Retail outlets and services will include a bank, postal services, phone centre, internet lounge, dry cleaning, hair salon, a general store and a ticket office. Team Welcome Ceremonies will also take place in the Village Plaza.
Repair services at the Paralympic Village During the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, Ottobock will be the official provider for wheelchair, orthotic and prosthetic repair services for athletes, NPC Team Officials, IF Games Officials and members of the Paralympic Family.
Repairs will be conducted free of charge on damages to wheelchairs, orthotics or prosthesis that, if not carried out, would either prevent athletes from competing in their events or affect delegates from achieving their usual level of independent daily living.
Repair services will be available in the residential zone of the Paralympic Village (main workshop) from 28 August until 21 September 2016. The regular operating hours of the repair service will be from 7.00am until 11.00pm; however, an emergency phone number will also be available for repairs needed outside these hours. This phone number will be communicated to NPCs in the Team Leaders’ Guide.
50 | ATHLETICS Explanatory Guide General information
Transport During the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, the TA (Transport for Athletes) system will provide transport services for athletes and team officials (Aa, Ab, Ac, Ao and P alternate athletes) and their accompanying luggage and personal sport equipment from 31 August until 21 September 2016. The TA bus system will provide the following transport services:
• arrival and departure services from/to the airports in Rio de Janeiro to/from the Paralympic Village Welcome Centre
• transport between the Paralympic Village and official competition and training venues
• Internal Village Transport Service (IVTS) operating inside the Paralympic Village
• Different Discipline Spectating Athletes (DDA) services
• ceremonies services
• additional services to the Sugar Loaf Mountain, Metropolitano Shopping Mall and Barra beach
TA TRAINING AND COMPETITION SERVICES Transport services for athletes and team officials for training and competition have been planned, and TA system vehicles will vary in size, seating capacity and model.
Regularly scheduled transport services will connect athletes to designated training venues. The service will commence on 31 August 2016 and will continue until the close of each sport’s individual training session.
On competition days, the TA service will begin approximately two or three hours prior to competition starting, with the last bus leaving the venue a maximum of two hours post-competition.
INTERNAL VILLAGE TRANSPORT SERVICE A daily Internal Village Transport Service (IVTS) shuttle will operate inside the Paralympic Village. The IVTS will circulate in a clockwise direction, connecting key locations, including the Welcome Centre, Main Dining Hall, Athlete Transport Mall and residential zone. This service will operate 24 hours a day from 28 August until 21 September 2016. Frequency will vary depending on the time of day.
NPC DEDICATED VEHICLES The number of dedicated vehicles allocated to each NPC will be confirmed at the Delegation Registration Meeting (DRM) and will be based on the NPC delegation size. The vehicles will be a mix of five-seat and 14-seat vehicles.
Equipment transfer Rio 2016 Logistics will operate a scheduled service for the transfer of athlete sport equipment between the Paralympic Village and competition and training venues (non-competition venues are not included) from 31 August to 20 September 2016. NOCs can request assistance with inter-venue transfers from the Logistics desk in the NPC Services Centre in the Paralympic Village.
51 | ATHLETICS Explanatory Guide General information
PUBLIC TRANSPORT A number of public transport options are available to get around in Rio:
• Bus Rapid Transit system (BRT)
• Subway (Metrô Rio)
• Train (Supervia)
• Light Rail Train (LRT)
• Urban bus
Information regarding the free-of-charge public transport options for accredited individuals in Rio de Janeiro will be made available in the Team Leaders’ Guide.
Medical services Public health services, including disease surveillance, communicable disease control and health protection (such as food, water and air quality) will be in place throughout Brazil during the Games.
Local hospitals include 24-hour emergency specialist services, and tourist clinics are also available around the city. Local pharmacies can be found in all neighbourhoods, and some are open 24 hours a day.
There are no vaccination requirements for entering Brazil, but NPCs are advised to consult their local physician prior to travelling to Brazil to ensure that all routine vaccinations are up to date.
MALARIA AND DENGUE FEVER Cases of dengue fever and malaria have been documented across all regions of Brazil. Whilst cases of malaria in Rio de Janeiro are extremely rare, major cities such as Brasília and Belo Horizonte have had a greater prevalence. NPCs are therefore advised to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves against mosquito bites.
Yellow fever The yellow fever vaccine is not a requirement for entry into Brazil; however, in the more remote areas, yellow fever has been documented and, therefore, it is recommended that NPCs take the necessary precautions.
It should also be noted that even though Brazil does not require the yellow fever vaccine for entry, delegates are advised to verify with their airline if the vaccine is a requirement of their destination upon leaving Brazil, or any transiting countries throughout the journey.
A basic summary of medical services at the Games is given below; full details will be provided in the Rio 2016 NPC Healthcare Guide, which will be published in April 2016.
Games-time medical services The Polyclinic will be located in the residential zone of the Paralympic Village and will be the main treatment provider for urgent and necessary services for athletes and NPC team officials during the Games. The Polyclinic will be open with limited services from 28 to 30 August, and then fully operational from 31 August until 21 September 2016.
52 | ATHLETICS Explanatory Guide General information
Services will be offered between 7.00am and 11.00pm, seven days a week, with an emergency services department operating 24-hours a day. Services in the Polyclinic will include:
• first aid and emergency services
• sports medicine
• dentistry
• imaging services — X-ray, ultrasound and MRI will be available on-site
• laboratory — for urine, blood and biochemical testing (some tests will be available on-site in the Polyclinic lab whilst others will be performed and sent to a laboratory outside the Paralympic Village for analysis)
• ophthalmology
• pharmacy
• physiotherapy and massage therapy (this will include treatment areas and a rehabilitation gym)
• podiatry
• primary care and specialist services — consultation rooms will be available for scheduled and on-call primary care and specialised services (such as dermatology, cardiology)
• IPC Medical & Scientific Department Offices
NPC doctors will be able to request imaging and laboratory services and discuss results with Rio 2016 medical services clinicians. Hospital referrals can only be made by Rio 2016 medical personnel. NPC doctors will be able to accompany team members to hospital and discuss management with the admitting doctor at the hospital.
The Polyclinic will have a 24-hour emergency phone number in the case emergency medical assistance is required outside the operational hours stated above.
VENUE MEDICAL SERVICES Medical facilities will be provided at competition, training and other official venues. Athlete and spectator services will be stocked with appropriate equipment, supplies and medication, and will be staffed by experienced medical personnel. Ambulances — staffed per Brazilian legislation by one nurse, one doctor and one driver each — will be stationed at all official Rio 2016 competition and training venues, the Village Polyclinic and the main Paralympic Family Hotel.
Competition and training venues At least one dedicated athlete medical post will be present at all official Rio 2016 competition and training venues. Each medical post, staffed by a combination of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and massage therapists, will provide services such as first aid and emergency care to athletes, team officials and technical officials. Athlete medical posts will be equipped with essential first aid and emergency equipment.
Field-of-play response Field of play (FOP) response teams will provide first aid and emergency services to athletes and officials on the FOP, should such services be required. If necessary, the athlete will be retrieved from the FOP and transported to the athlete medical post, Polyclinic or designated hospital, as appropriate. The order of response on the FOP and any decision making will differ in each venue, in accordance with the rules of the respective IF.
53 | ATHLETICS Explanatory Guide General information
Spectator medical services All official Rio 2016 competition venues will have one or more spectator medical post that will provide first aid and emergency services to all other client groups, including spectators, workforce, media, sponsors and Paralympic Family. There will also be mobile medical responders circulating throughout the venue to respond to any medical situation that occurs.
PARALYMPIC FAMILY HOSPITALS Athletes and team officials who require services beyond the capability of the Polyclinic will be transported to Vitória Hospital – Americas Medical City located in the Barra zone, near the Paralympic Village and Barra Olympic Park. Any patient suffering from a life-threatening condition that may occur at another competition or training venue located in any of the other venue zones (Copacabana, Deodoro or Maracanã) will be taken to the nearest pre-selected hospital.
Doping control Rio 2016 is committed to delivering a world-class anti-doping programme during the Paralympic Games. In partnership with the IPC, Rio 2016’s anti-doping programme will ensure that the integrity of sport is upheld, while protecting the rights and health of the athletes.
The programme will conduct testing anytime and anywhere, without prior notice, from 31 August to 18 September 2016 and will follow collection procedures consistent with the IPC Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Code. Sample analysis will be conducted at the WADA-accredited laboratory in Rio de Janeiro.
Rio 2016 encourages NPCs to take proactive and comprehensive measures to ensure athletes, support personnel and medical staff are informed of, for example, the anti-doping rules and procedures that will be in place during the Games, the WADC Prohibited List and the importance of drug-free sport.
Sport information SPORT INFORMATION DESKS The Sport Information Centre (SIC) will be located in the residential zone of the Paralympic Village and will provide key sport-specific information to teams through Sport Information Desks (SIDs) dedicated to each Paralympic sport/discipline. SIDs will also be available at every competition venue. A variety of services and information will be available at the SIC, including:
• general competition-related information and sport-related communications from the Rio 2016 Sport Competition team or International Federations (IFs)
• distribution of results, draws and start lists, daily training schedules and other key competition information
• booking of Games-time training slots and allocation of training sessions at competition venues for selected sports
• transport information and scheduling of team sport buses
• Athlete Venue Meals (AVMs) bookings
54 | ATHLETICS Explanatory Guide General information

Qualification and entries Entries to the Paralympic Games are the responsibility of the National Paralympic Committees (NPCs), upon recommendations provided by their respective National Organisations and based on qualification systems defined by the International Federations (IFs) and approved by the IPC. Detailed sport-by-sport qualification systems are available and regularly updated on the IPC website:
www.paralympic.org/rio-2016/qualification
56 | ATHLETICS Explanatory Guide General information
Classification The purpose of the Paralympic sport classification system is to minimise the impact of impairment on the outcome of competition, so that the athletes who succeed in competition are those with the best anthropometry, physiology and psychology and who have enhanced them to best effect through hard training and quality coaching. To achieve this, athletes are grouped into classes according to how much their impairment impacts on their sport-specific performance.
All athletes at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games must comply with their respective sport’s eligibility criteria, as stipulated in the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games Qualification Guide. This also applies to athletes submitted by their NPCs using a Bipartite Commission application, by a Universality Wild Card (UWC) application, or as substitutes between the final entries deadline and the DRM (where applicable).
Athlete-specific classification data (sport class and sport class status) will be uploaded onto the Sport Entries system from the Classification Master Lists provided to Rio 2016 by the respective IFs by 15 June 2016, consistent with the IPC’s zero-classification policy. NPCs should ensure that their athletes are classified before 15 June 2016. This will help to ensure that the online Sport Entries module is up to date, and will allow NPCs to enter their athletes into the correct events. Any changes in classification occurring after 15 June must be reported to the IPC and Rio 2016 immediately.
Further information about classification for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games will be available in the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games Classification Guide, published in the fourth quarter of 2015.
For more information on the classification rules specific to Athletics, see IPC Athletics’s website.
