How does the Paralympic classification system work?
帕運的分類系統如何運作?
classification 分類
athlete 運動員
cornerstone 基石/基礎
eligible 有資格的
impairment 損傷/損害
prowess 高超的技能
Like the Olympics, the Paralympics are taking place a year after originally planned because of the delay caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
如同奧運,由於新冠肺炎大流行造成延誤,帕運比原計畫晚了一年舉行。
According to the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), there are 2550 male and 1853 female athletes taking part in Games, which run from August 24 to September 5.
根據國際帕運委員會(IPC)的統計,從8月24日到9月5日舉行的帕運,有2550名男性運動員和1853名女性運動員參與。
"Classification is the cornerstone of the Paralympic Movement, it determines which athletes are eligible to compete in a sport and how athletes are grouped together for competition,' says the IPC.
IPC說:「分類是帕運的基石,它決定哪些運動員有資格參加某項運動,以及如何分組參加比賽。」
What makes a Paralympian?
是什麼造就一位帕運運動員?
Paralympians are grouped together by the "degree of activity limitation resulting from the impairment," according to the IPC.
根據IPC的說法,帕運運動員是根據"因損傷導致的活動受限程度"來分組的。
As different sports require different physical demands, the IPC says the classification process "aims to minimize the impact of the impairment on athletes' performance" so that their athletic prowess is showcased.
由於不同的運動項目需要不同的身體需求,IPC表示分類的過程中,旨在"最大限度減少損傷對運動員表現造成的影響",以便展示他們高超的運動技能。
What do the classes in each sport mean?
每項運動的分類代表什麼?
The class groups athletes with similar athletic limitations so that they can compete to similar levels, but does not necessarily have to solely group athletes with the same eligible impairment.
分類會將具有相似運動限制的運動員分組在一起,讓他們以相似的水平競爭,但不一定必須將具有相同缺陷條件的運動員分在一起。
Because some impairments progress over time, athletes can change classification over time.
由於一些損傷會隨著時間流逝而有進展,因此運動員可以隨著時間而更改分類。

competition games for groups 在 Jason Jung -莊吉生 Facebook 的最讚貼文
吉生 Q&A 來了 !
Q1 . 吉生的早餐要吃什麼?
明天早上我會吃水果、麥片、麵包、墨西哥豆跟玉米餅!
Tomorrow I will have fruit, granola, bread, Mexican beans and tortilla!
Q2. After losing a tough match, how long does it take for u to get over it ? And how do u motivate yourself again ?
Some losses have taken me weeks to get over and some just one day. I don’t always get it right, but I remind myself of my goals and where I want to get to. That usually motivates me again. I’ve had a good support team as well, my coach, friends and family have gotten me through some tough moments.
Q3. 請問外地比賽的飲食是需要自己準備還是有專業團隊準備呢?
每個選手的習慣不同。不過為了盡量保持一樣的飲食以避免過敏等其他食物反應,大部分的選手主要吃的食物有米飯、義大利麵跟一些水煮青菜及蛋白質。比賽大會也都會準備以上幾種食物。
I think depends on the player. But it’s also difficult to eat the same foods when you travel to a different city every week. You need to adapt to the foods of that country. Most of the tennis players will eat rice, pasta, some vegetables, and a protein. And the tournaments usually provides those meals.
Q4. Who teach you Taiwanese in the US?
從小在家裡我就是跟父母說台語,出外才使用英語。
My parents taught me how to speak Taiwanese!
Q5. When you were a middle/high school kids, what was your motivation to keep playing tennis, when you lost a match (this question is for my daughter)? Do you have a favorite song(s) that you listen before your matches?
My motivation to keep playing tennis was that I had fun playing. I grew up playing with many different people and all age groups. It was fun for me to play with different game styles b/c it gave me a chance to problem solve. Losing was always tough, but when I was in middle/high school I didn’t think about losing too much, there was a tournament almost every week so I would just keep going.
I don’t have a favorite song before matches. I like to listen to US hip hop!
Q6. 現役選手,最希望對戰的選手?
如果有機會的話,能夠和費爸在籤表中相遇會是很開心的一件事。
I’d really like to play against Roger Federer. I’ve seen him at tournaments, but would be an honor to play against him.
Q7. 請問吉生是幾歲開始打網球的,要如何鼓勵小朋友喜歡打網球呢?
我從四歲開始打網球,不過一開始只是興趣。
我覺得可以製造不同環境讓孩子打網球,不一定是教練,也可以和父母或是公園的其他孩子們玩網球。
多讓小朋友到現場看比賽也許也能激起小朋友的興趣。
I started playing tennis at four years old. But I wasn’t serious about tennis until eight years old. At a young age I think it’s best to give kids more opportunities to play tennis. It can be with parents, with a tennis coach, or even at the park where there are many other people playing tennis. Also, it’s nice to go watch tennis tournaments.
Q8. 疫情下的訓練出賽甘苦談
過去一年無論訓練還是比賽都不容易。每個國家的防疫程度不同,旅行時需要的簽證及文件也不同,規定時時刻刻在改變,有時候也會因為疲勞而找不到動力。加上沒有比賽讓我們檢驗訓練成果和工作動力,我想所有球員都有感受到困難之處。
但整體而言我相信會越來越好,今年的賽程也有慢慢在回復當中。
It hasn’t been easy training and traveling this past year during COVID 19. Last year when all the tournaments were canceled for 5 months , some days were tough to find the motivation. As tennis players we didn’t have tournaments to measure our training and we didn’t have the competition to push us to be better. I think traveling has been the most difficult. Every country has different protocols and it’s tough to know that some countries may not let you in if you don’t have the correct documents. Some players have gone through that. But even through these tough times, overall as tennis players we have done a good job to come back and continue to compete.
Q9. What do you like to do in your free time?
During a training week or at a tournament we are always physically exerting energy so during my free time I like to just relax and do nothing haha. Watch TV shows and movies on Netflix. Any recommendations for good shows?
Q10. 吉生最難忘的一場比賽是哪一場?
2017 年的世大運冠軍賽是我記憶中最深刻的一場比賽。
在炎熱的氣溫及一週高強度的比賽下我感到非常疲憊,但靠著球迷們的加油及鼓勵,我最終成功拿到金牌!我永遠不會忘記 :)
University games 2017 in Taipei. I have never played in an atmosphere like that before. The energy was really amazing. There were times during the match where i would feel tired but the fans kept me going and pushed me. I will remember that week forever.
