2018 World Para Athletics European Championships

To ensure competition is as fair and balanced as possible, athletes are classified dependent on how their disability impacts on their chosen event/s. Thus athletes may compete in an event against competitors with a different disability to themselves. Where there are more than one classification in one event, (for example discus throw F54/55/56), a points system is used to determine the winner. RaceRunning, an event using adapted tricycle frames for athletes with a severe balance impairment, was introduced for the first time in the RR category, while 'blade' athletes, using a prosthetic specialist limb were placed in new *61-4 categories, while athletes with lower limb disabilities, but not amputations, remained in the *42-4 categories.

• F = field athletes
• T = track athletes

• 11-13 – visually impaired, 11 and 12 compete with a sighted guide
• 20 – intellectual disability
• 31-38 – cerebral palsy or other conditions that affect muscle co-ordination and control. Athletes in class 31-34 compete in a seated position; athletes in class 35-38 compete standing.
• 40-47 – arm amputation, lower limb deficiencies and les autres
• 51-58 – wheelchair athletes
• 61-63 – leg amputees, 'blade' athletes
• RR1-3 – racerunners who employ an adapted tricycle to maintain balance.

15 World Records were broken in total across all events, with a further 9 European records also falling.[3] Lucyna Kornobys of Poland was the only athlete to break two world records, setting new marks in the women's javelin F33 and shot put F33. Markus Rehm of Germany broke his own world record in the long jump T64 with a distance of 8.48 - a distance that would have won the able bodied event a few weeks earlier.[3]
