Abstract:
Sport events are often held up as opportunities to showcase excellence and further access to sport participation. The ethos of accessibility has come to the forefront of many events, but none more so than the Commonwealth Games (CG). CG uses the ethos of inclusivity to bring the Commonwealth (CW) community together and utilizes sport to celebrate, uphold and drive its vision and values: Humanity, Destiny, Equality. However there remain significant gaps in participation opportunities and the realization of equality through CG, particularly for lower resource CW nations. CG is also the only global multisport event that integrates athletes with disabilities (para sport athletes), and yet there persist significant constraints to the creation of equitable opportunities for full participation for many para sport athletes. Shalala wrote \"How can you effectively achieve integration (during CG), while ensuring the gulf between the best and the rest doesn\'t become a seismic divide?\" We echo Shalala\'s concerns. Through this review we intend to examine sport classification as exemplary of the opportunities and hindrances for CG to actualize their values of \"equality, humanity and destiny\" for para sport and athletes, specifically from developing CW nations, and guard against the growing chasm \"between the best and the rest\". Of significance, we consider, through a human rights lens and the concept of structural violence, the impact of sport classification on the integration of para sport and athletes at CGs, and the future of Commonwealth-wide participation and the integrated model itself.
摘要:
体育赛事通常被视为展示卓越和进一步参与体育活动的机会。无障碍的精神已经成为许多事件的最前沿,但没有比英联邦运动会(CG)更多的了。CG利用包容性的精神将英联邦(CW)社区团结在一起,并利用体育来庆祝,坚持和推动其愿景和价值观:人性,命运,平等。然而,在参与机会和通过CG实现平等方面仍然存在巨大差距,特别是对于资源较少的CW国家。CG也是唯一一个融合残疾运动员(残疾人运动员)的全球多项运动项目,然而,在为许多体育运动员创造充分参与的公平机会方面,仍然存在重大限制。Shalala写道:“您如何有效地实现集成(在CG期间),同时确保最好与其他人之间的鸿沟不会成为地震鸿沟?“我们回应了Shalala的担忧。通过这篇综述,我们打算研究体育分类作为CG实现其“平等”价值观的机会和障碍的典范,人性与命运“对于体育和运动员来说,特别是来自发展中的CW国家,并防止“最好的和其他人之间的鸿沟”。意义重大,我们认为,通过人权视角和结构性暴力的概念,运动分类对社区体育和运动员整合的影响,以及整个英联邦参与的未来和综合模式本身。
