Rowing to debut at '08 Beijing Paralympics (Agencies) Updated: 2005-04-13 09:09 Rowing will be included in the
Paralympics for the first time at the 2008 Beijing Games.
The International Paralympic Committee said Tuesday that all disability
categories would be eligible, with coxed fours, single sculls and doubles likely
to be contested.
The rowing events will involve equipment adapted by the athlete, rather than
the sport being adapted to the user. Most Paralympic sports are classified by
disability rather than the sport.
The IPC, based in Bonn, Germany, said 20 sports would be on the program of
the Beijing Paralympics, set for Sept. 6-17, 2008.
