In my training, classification is about assessing an athlete's impairment to see how much it impacts their specific sport—it's not a medical diagnosis, but a sport-specific functional evaluation. We group athletes into classes to ensure competition is fair, so the winner is the most skilled, not the one with the least impairment. Frankly, watching an athlete's frustration when they feel misclassified hits harder than any textbook; it's a real *ghar ka dukh* seeing the human behind the form. My own struggle with a wobbly internet connection during virtual training modules has given me a very raw, personal understanding of how the wrong 'fit' can completely block your potential.
