World records in disability athletics are ratified by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). In Para-athletics competitions, athletes are given a class depending on the type and extent of their disability. The classes are as follows:
- 11âÂÂ13: Blind and visually impaired
- 20: Intellectually disabled
- 32âÂÂ38: Athletes with cerebral palsy; classes 32âÂÂ34 compete in wheelchairs, while 35âÂÂ38 are ambulant
- 40âÂÂ46: Ambulant athletes with amputations or other disabilities such as dwarfism
- 51âÂÂ58: Wheelchair athletes with spinal cord injuries or amputations
- 61âÂÂ64: Athletes with limb differences
The IPC recognizes records for each of these classes.
