- 11–13: Blind and visually impaired
- 20: Intellectually disabled
- 32–38: Athletes with cerebral palsy; classes 32–34 compete in wheelchairs, while 35–38 are ambulant
- 40–46: Ambulant athletes with amputations or other disabilities such as dwarfism
- 51–58: Wheelchair athletes with spinal cord injuries or amputations
The IPC recognizes records for each of these classes.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, world and/or records:
“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“One does not set fire to a world which is already lost.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“It’s always the generals with the bloodiest records who are the first to shout what a hell it is. And it’s always the war widows who lead the Memorial Day parades.”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
