About Event

Number of medal events: There are 170 medal events in total: 96 track, 70 field, and four road.

Number of competitors: 1,100 – 740 men, 360 women - Each country has been given a quota, which is limited to 80 athletes across all events.

Classification: To ensure competition is fair, athletes are grouped into classes according to how much their impairment impacts on their event-specific performance. 

Classes 11–13 are for athletes with a visual impairment.
Class 20 is for athletes with an intellectual impairment.
Classes 31–38 are for athletes with cerebral palsy, with classes 31 to 34 using a wheelchair to compete.
Classes 40–46 are for athletes with a loss of limb or limb deficiency.
Classes 51–58 cover wheelchair racers or field athletes who throw from a seated position.

In each class, the first digit indicates the nature of an athlete’s impairment, and the second indicates the amount of functional ability the athlete has. The lower the second number, the greater the impact on their ability to compete.

A T or an F before each two-digit number shows whether the athlete is competing in a track event or a field event.
