Cyclists are given a classification depending on the type and extent of their disability. The classification system allows cyclists to compete against others with a similar level of function. [1]
At the 2008 Summer Paralympics and earlier, classes were:
At the 2012 Summer Paralympics, a functional para-cycling classification system was used.
In some cycling events, cyclists with different classifications compete against each other for one set of medals. Many (but not all) such events are factored, reducing the times of riders in lower classifications to take their greater impairment into account. Factoring percentages are based on average race times by riders in each classification. [2]
At the 2012 Summer Paralympics, factored races included the mixed tricycle time trial, Women's C1–3 road time trial, [3] Women's H1–2 road time trial and track C1–3 and C4–5 events.
