In the men and women's biathlon, this classification was again grouped with standing classes in the 7.5 km race with two shooting stages, and the 12.5 km race, which had four shooting stages. At the 2009 IPC Alpine World Championships, there were four women and nine men from this class in the standing downhill event.
