2012Number 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. 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. 2012 Results - London Paralympic Games
