Classification

Further information: Para-athletics classification

All athletes are classified according to their impairment and competition is a combined format where athletes of multiple different classifications compete against each other. Each classification consists of a three character code, starting with a letter and followed by a two-digit number. The letter specifies the event type: T for track and jumping events, and F for throwing events. The first digit of the number specifies the type of impairment and the second digit the severity of the impairment; the lower the second number, the more impaired.

• T/F11–13 (visual impairment)
• T/F20 (intellectual impairment)
• T/F31–34 (wheelchair events for athletes with a movement disorder, including cerebral palsy)
• T/F35–38 (ambulant events for athletes with a movement disorder, including cerebral palsy)
• T/F40–41 (short stature, including dwarfism)
• T/F42–44 (leg impairment, lower limb affected by limb deficiency, leg length difference, impaired muscle power or impaired range of movement)
• T/F45–47 (arm impairment, upper limbs affected by limb deficiency, impaired muscle power or impaired range of movement)
• T/F51–57 (wheelchair events for athletes with a lower body impairment, including paraplegia)
• T/F61-64 (Lower limb/s competing with prosthesis affected by limb deficiency and leg length difference)
