Classification ensures fair competition by grouping athletes with similar impairments together. But the truth is, your body changes, and the system can feel rigid. In my case, as my spinal injury progressed, I was reclassified from S6 to S5, moving to a less impaired category. It felt less like finding fairness and more like starting over, chasing a new benchmark just as my own body was setting new limits.
