Talk:Para-alpine skiing

Para-alpine skiing classification
There are repetitions in the second paragraph of the lead, Para-alpine skiing classification. I would try to rewrite, but it would be better for somebody closer to the subject to do it. I would be afraid of distorting the sense. Your friendly neighbourhood grammar nazi, Awien (talk) 20:24, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Equipment
Another repetition. Both para 3 and 4 end with this sentence: As skis for able bodied skiers evolved to specialise for the event, the skis for mono-ski use also changed.

A good and interesting article, which is why it's worth tweaking the little glitches.

Grammar
I'm afraid I can't make sense of the following sentence: The mono-ski uses the same skis used for able-bodied alpine skiing, which sits on a chair attached to the ski on a spring.

As written it means that able-bodied alpine skiing sits on a chair.

Is this correct: The mono-ski uses the same skis used for able-bodied alpine skiing, adapted so that the skier sits on a chair attached to the ski on a spring.

Ski classification
A bit of contradiction:


 * " includes outrigger skis, sit-skis, and mono-skis."

Later on the article says:
 * "A monoski, also known as a sit-ski, "

Please clarify the classification.

I would also suggest to make a separate page, Para-alpine skiing equipment, for cleaner article categorization. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:34, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
 * PS. LW12 says 'In para-Alpine skiing, the skier uses a mono-ski, while para-Nordic skiers use a two ski sit-ski". I.e. monoski and sit-ski is not one and the same. Staszek Lem (talk) 19:05, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

these descriptions of the classifications are terrible. amputees are a very small proportion of people who compete standing, and paraplegia is not the only reason to compete sitting; this is very very misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.76.8.88 (talk) 23:24, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
