[25] In the 1500m T37 men, Ireland's Michael McKillop won and set a world record with a time of 4:14.81, but did not receive a medal, because only two athletes competed, and there must be a minimum of three competitors.

[29] World records: Mariia Pomazan of Ukraine, in the women's discus F35/36 with a throw of 28.73m (1073pts) and Tunisia's Mohamed Farhat Chida in the men's 400m T38 with a time of 49.33sec.
