  • T/F11-13: Blind (11) and visually impaired (12–13) athletes; track athletes would often run with a guide.
  • T/F20: Athletes who have an intellectual impairment.
  • T/F 31-38: Athletes who have cerebral palsy or other coordination impairments. 31-34 for wheelchair events and 35-38 for running events.
  • F40-41: Les Autres - typically for athletes who have dwarfism.
  • T/F 42-47: Athletes who are amputees. In field events, some athletes would compete in seated events.
  • T/F 51-58: Athletes who have a spinal cord injury or disability. In field events, most athletes would compete in seated events.
