PR1 W1x

PR1 W1x (previously AS W1x and earlier AW1x) is a Paralympic rowing classification. The classifications were developed and current as of March 2011.[1] The event changed from A ("arms only") to AS ("arms and shoulders"), then in 2017 the designation was changed from AS to PR1.[2]

Definition

This is a Paralympic rowing classification.[3] In 2008, BBC Sport defined this classification was "AW1x: A fixed-seat single scull boat for women. Athletes have full movement in their arms only. "[3] In 2008, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation defined this classification was "A (Arms Only): These rowers have no leg or trunk function, and are only able to row with the use of their arms." [4]

Becoming classified

Classification is handled by FISA – International Rowing Federation.[5]

gollark: I have repairability, lifetime, battery life and custom ROM support as high priorities, don't care that much about specs, fancy cameras and whatever.
