The athletics classifications are:

- 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.
