I'm a par Olympic gold medalist and three-time World Champion and let me explain to you what the classification process looks like just because we're all in the Paralympics doesn't mean that I compete against someone who's an amputee there are 14 classifications total and three of those 14 are for blind people because say it with me blindness is a spectrum so we get checked by a bunch of different doctors and do a lot of testing and then they end up placing you in the classification that you belong in in my classification we all wear blacked out goggles so the playing field is pretty fair
