Athletes were given a classification depending on the type and extent of their disability. The classification system allowed athletes to compete against others with a similar level of function.

The athletics classifications are:

  • 11–13: Blind (11) and visually impaired (12, 13) athletes
  • 20: Athletes with an intellectual disability
  • 31–38: Athletes with cerebral palsy
  • 40: Les Autres (others) (including people with dwarfism)
  • 42–46: Amputees
  • 51–58: Athletes with a spinal cord disability

The class numbers were given prefixes of "T" and "F" for track and field events, respectively.
