This classification can use an ATP3 knee-seat cycle that is forward leaning on a rigid frame.
This policy was put into place in 2014, with the goal of avoiding last minute changes in classes that would negatively impact athlete training preparations.
All competitors needed to be internationally classified with their classification status confirmed prior to the Games, with exceptions to this policy being dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
[5] Competitors in this classification include Stuart Tripp of Australia[6][7] and Alex Zanardi of Italy.
Members of the classification panel must not have a relationship with the cyclist and must not be involved in the World Championships in any other role than as classifier.
