Participating athletes are given a classification depending on their disabilities (T denotes track events, F denotes field events). They are categorised into seven different classifications:[3]

  • T/F11–13: Blind (11) and visually impaired (12–13) athletes; track athletes would often run with a guide.
  • T/F20: Athletes who have an intellectual impairment.
  • T/F 31–38: Athletes who have cerebral palsy or other coordination impairments. 31–34 for wheelchair events and 35–38 for running events.
  • F40–41: Les Autres – typically for athletes who have dwarfism.
  • T/F 42–47: Athletes who are amputees. In field events, some athletes would compete in seated events.
  • T/F 51–58: Athletes who have a spinal cord injury or disability. In field events, most athletes would compete in seated events.
  • T/F 61–64: Athletes who have a prosthesis affected by limb deficiency and leg length difference.
