The Snowboarding competition of the 2018 Winter Paralympics was held on 12 and 16 March 2018 at the Jeongseon Alpine Centre in Gangneung, South Korea.[1]
Para-snowboarding is divided into three classification categories.[2]
- SB-LL1
- Athletes competing in the class SB-LL1 have significant impairment to one leg, such as amputation above the knee, or "a significant combined impairment in two legs", affecting their balance, their board-control and their ability to navigate uneven terrain.[2] Athletes with annotations will use prostheses during racing.[2]
- SB-LL2
- Athletes competing in the class SB-LL2 have impairment to one or both legs "with less activity limitation", such as below-knee amputation.[2]
- SB-UL
- Athletes competing in the class SB-UL have upper limb impairments, affecting balance.[2] There are no events for female athletes in the category SB-UL in the 2018 games.[3]
