Curious about how to improve @Paralympics classification? For the first time, with the IPC we have published a Special Issue on Evidence-based Classification in @JSportsSci. 20 new articles to improve classification beyond @Tokyo2020 https://t.co/kGT3iejviK @CASA_aiss @VU_FGB

#ICYMI: Paralympian @brideski says it's time we include more para-sports in schools and sporting clubs.

"We need to start thinking about inclusion from the perspective of everyone being included - not adding something on, from a mainstream sport." #TheDrum

[ABC The Drum @ABCthedrum]

Clear your schedules - the #Paralympics are back!

We've got such a talented team in Tokyo, that if we discussed it all we might be here for the whole two weeks.

For a starting point, we spoke to ABC's @TraceyLeeHolmes, and 2012 silver medallist, @brideski. #TheDrum
