Understanding The Sport
What Is Para Rowing?
Para Rowing enables eligible athletes with disabilities to take part in competitive rowing under adapted sporting classifications and competition rules.
Boats, equipment and events are adapted so athletes can compete on fair and equal terms within their classification. Para Rowing is contested at national, regional, continental and international level, including within the World Rowing structure.
On classification: the Uganda Para-Rowing Federation does not set or interpret classification rules. For authoritative information on Para Rowing classification, please refer to World Rowing, the sport's international governing body.
