[2] According to the Canadian Paralympic Committee, "Wheelchair curling is generally open to individuals, both male and female, with significant impairments in lower leg/gait function, who usually require a wheelchair for daily mobility (i.e. spinal injury, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, or double leg amputation).
Authorised international sports classifiers determine the minimum disability and appropriate classification.
[4] Lower leg amputation competitors are allowed to participate in wheelchair sport following classification rules for them based on functional mobility.
Canada repeated as gold medal winners at the 2010 Winter Paralympics in Vancouver.
Going forward, disability sport's major classification body, the International Paralympic Committee, is working on improving classification to be more of an evidence-based system as opposed to a performance-based system so as not to punish elite athletes whose performance makes them appear in a higher class alongside competitors who train less.
