Welcome to the official Records Database for Para-Athletics for Athletes With Disabilities While we endeavour to monitor performances of known athletes through results, not all records and results can be identified and coaches and athletes should take some responsibilty if a record has been set or broken to complete the records claim forms. These are available to download on the Athletics Australia website. Records: Records set at Athletics Australia National Open and Age events will be produced automatically. Records set at IPC and INAS International events will be processed automatically. Records set at others times will require claim forms including all details. Athletes with a National Review status will be ineligible for Records. Will be produced atwice a eah calendar year. (January/February and again in June/July) Records in blue and listed as (pending) means the record is awaiting IPC approval Some Records in purple may indicate a record has been beating but not sanctioned/verified by the IPC Age Ruling: Note: For all Athletics Australia (AA) events and records underage eligibility is determined by the athlete’s age at the completion of the calendar year in which the event is occurring. Eg: For an athlete to compete or claim an Under 18 record in 2018 they must not turn 18 during the 2018 calendar year!

Para Athletics - Sport classes (Impairment types): Track (prefix T for Track & Jumps) T11-13 (Vision impairment) T20 (Intellectual impairment) T35-38 (Coordination impairments (hypertonia, ataxia and athetosis)) T40-41 (Short stature) T42-44 (Lower limb competing without prosthesis affected by limb deficiency, leg length difference, impaired muscle power or impaired passive range of movement) T45-47 (Upper limb/s affected by limb deficiency, impaired muscle power or impaired passive range of T61-64 (Lower limb/s competing with prosthesis affected by limb deficiency and leg length difference) Discipline: Wheelchair racing (7 classes) T32-34 (Coordination impairments (hypertonia, ataxia and athetosis)) T51-54 (Limb deficiency, leg length difference, impaired muscle power or impaired passive range of Throws (prefix F for Field) Discipline: Standing (Ambulant) throws F11-13 (Vision impairment) F20 (Intellectual impairment) F35-38 (Coordination impairments (hypertonia, ataxia and athetosis)) F40-41 (Short stature) F42-44 (Lower limb competing without prosthesis affected by limb deficiency, leg length difference, impaired muscle power or impaired passive range of movement) F45-46 (Upper limb/s affected by limb deficiency, impaired muscle power or impaired passive range of F61-64 (Lower limb/s competing with prosthesis affected by limb deficiency and leg length difference) Discipline: Seated throws F31-34 (Coordination impairments (hypertonia, ataxia and athetosis)) F51-57 (Limb deficiency, leg length difference, impaired muscle power or impaired range of movement) Description of the classes Sport Classes T11-13 and F11-13 Athletes in these classes have a visual impairment which is severe enough to impact on sport. As indicated in table 1 they compete in one of three sport classes in track and jumps (T11-13) and throws (F11-13). T11/F11 - These athletes have a very low visual acuity and/or no light perception. T12/F12 - Athletes with a T12/F12 sport class have a higher visual acuity than athletes competing in the T11/F11 sport class and/or a visual field of less than five degrees radius. T13/F13 - Athletes with a T13/F13 sport class have the least severe visual impairment eligible for IPC Athletics. They have the highest visual acuity and/or a visual field of less than 20 degrees radius. Sport classes T20/F20 Athletes in this class have an intellectual impairment that impacts on the activities of running (400m - marathon), jumping (long jump and triple jump) or throwing events (shot put). As indicated in table 1, there is one sport class for running and jumping events (T20) and one for field events (F20) and athletes must meet the sport-specific MDC for each of their respective events (running, jumping or throwing). Sport classes T32-4 (wheelchair track), T35-38 (running track), F31-34 (seated throws) and F35-38 (standing throws) Athletes in these classes are affected by hypertonia, ataxia and athetosis all of which typically affect co- ordination of movement. As indicated in table 1 they compete in the following classes: Wheelchair track: T32-34 These classes are for wheelchair racing, T32 - Athletes have moderate to severe co-ordination impairment affecting all four limbs and trunk, but usually with slightly more function on one side of the body or in the legs. Function is affected so that throwing and wheelchair propulsion is difficult. Trunk control is poor. T33 - Athletes have moderate to severe co-ordination impairment of three to four limbs, but typically have almost full functional control in the least impaired arm. Forward propulsion of the wheelchair is impacted by significant asymmetry in arm action and/or very poor grasp and release in one hand and limited trunk T34 - Athletes are generally affected in all four limbs but more in the lower limbs than the upper limbs. The arms and trunk demonstrate fair to good functional strength and near to able-bodied grasp, release and relatively symmetrical wheelchair propulsion. Running Track and Jumps: T35-38 Athletes in the sport classes T35-38 have sufficient function to run. T35 - Athletes are typically affected in all four limbs but more so in the legs than the arms. Running gait is moderately to severely impacted, with stride length typically shortened. T36 - These athletes demonstrate moderate athetosis, ataxia and sometimes hypertonia or a mixture of these which affects all four limbs. The arms are usually similarly or more affected than the legs. Involuntary movements are clearly evident throughout the trunk and/or in the limbs in all sport activities, either when the athlete is attempting to stand still (athetosis) or when attempting a specific movement (tremor). T37 - Athletes have moderate hypertonia, ataxia or athetosis in one half of the body. The other side of the body may be minimally affected but always demonstrates good functional ability in running. Arm action is asymmetrical. Some trunk asymmetry is usually evident. T38 - Athletes have clear evidence of hypertonia, ataxia and/or athetosis on physical assessment that will affect running. Co-ordination impairment is mild to moderate and can be in one to four limbs. Co-ordination and balance are typically mildly affected, and overall these athletes are able to run and jump freely. Seated throws: F31-34 F31 - Athletes have severe hypertonia or athetosis, with very poor functional range, and/or control of movement in all four limbs and the trunk. Hand function is very poor with a limited static grip, severely reduced throwing motion and poor follow through and release. F32 - Athletes have moderate to severe hypertonia, ataxia and/or athetosis affecting all four limbs and trunk, usually with slightly more function on one side of the body or in the legs. A cylindrical and/or spherical grasp is possible, but grasp and release in combination with throws are poorly co-ordinated. Dynamic trunk control is F33 - Athletes have moderate to severe hypertonia, ataxia or athetosis affecting three to four limbs, typically have almost full functional control in the least impaired arm. Athletes are able to throw an implement forcefully, albeit with limited follow-through. While athletes are able to grasp the implement, release of the implement is affected by poor finger dexterity. Trunk movements are limited by extensor tone, so that throwing motions are F34 - Athletes generally have moderate to severe hypertonia in both legs with significant difficulty in standing balance and walking. The arms and trunk demonstrate fair to good functional strength and near to full grasp, release and follow through for throws. Poor fine co-ordination in the hands is common. Hypertonia in the trunk and in the legs may result in mild limitations in throws. Standing Throws: F35-38 Athletes in the sport classes F35-38 have sufficient function in throwing ability from a standing position without support or aids. F35 - Athletes are typically more affected in the legs than the arms, but may also have significant co-ordination impairment of the non-throwing arm. Moderate hypertonia in the legs significantly limits the ability to walk and run.
