==Disability classifications==
Every participant at the Paralympics had their disability grouped into one of five [[Summer Paralympic Games#Disability categories|disability categories]]: [[amputation]] (either congenital or sustained through injury or illness); [[cerebral palsy]]; [[wheelchair]] athletes (often overlapping with other categories); [[visual impairment]] (including [[blindness]]); and les autres (any physical disability that does not fall strictly under one of the other categories, for example [[dwarfism]] or [[multiple sclerosis]]).<ref>{{cite web |title=Paralympics categories explained |publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation |date=2008-09-03 |url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/09/03/2354016.htm?site=paralympics/2008 |access-date=2008-09-25}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Making sense of the categories |work=BBC Sport |date=2000-10-06 |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics2000/paralympics/959701.stm |access-date=2008-09-18}}</ref> Each [[Paralympic Games#Summer sports|Paralympic sport]] then had its own classifications, depending on the specific physical demands of the competition. Events were given a code, made of numbers and letters, describing the type of event and classification of the athletes competing. Some sports, such as [[Athletics at the 2008 Summer Paralympics|athletics]], divided athletes by both the category and severity of their disabilities. Other sports, such as [[Swimming at the 2008 Summer Paralympics|swimming]], grouped competitors from different categories together, the only separation being based on the severity of the disability.<ref>{{cite news |title=A-Z of Paralympic classification |work=BBC Sport |date=2008-08-28 |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/disability_sport/7586684.stm |access-date=2008-09-18}}</ref>

Athletes may have competed against individuals with different classifications in the same event. For example, track and field athlete [[Jim Bob Bizzell]] competed in the [[Athletics at the 2008 Summer Paralympics – Men's 200 metres T44|men's 200&nbsp;meters T44]]; the prefix T designated a track event and 44 was the disability classification. Although he finished behind [[Oscar Pistorius]] (competing under the T43 class), Bizell set a world record in the T44 classification. For specific classification information, see the pages for individual sports at [[2008 Summer Paralympics#Sports]].

;Factor time
To ensure a fair event when athletes with differing disabilities compete, times achieved were sometimes modified by a percentage rate, to produce a result known as "Factor Time". It is this time that decided the result of the races, and is listed below. Where this differs from the actual time recorded, actual time is also listed.<ref>{{citation |title=Paralympic cycling qualification and results criteria procedure |publisher=International Paralympic Committee|date=2007-01-16}}</ref>
