Sport
This is a Paralympic rowing classification. In 2008, BBC Sport defined this classification was "TA2x: A two-person, mixed-gender scull for athletes with trunk and arm movement only." In 2008, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation defined this classification was "TA (Trunk and Arms): Competitors in this classification can fix their pelvis on the seat in the boat but are unable to use a sliding seat because of their loss of leg function."
Becoming classified
Classification is handled by FISA – International Rowing Federation.
Australians seeking classification through Rowing Australia need to provide several documents to a classifier at the time of application, including a doctor's statement that documents their impairment, when it was acquired and if the doctor expects changes in the level of disability in terms of increases or decreases in the severity of the disability.
