The marathon events for both women and men took part outside the main championship in Doha and were contested as part of the 2015 London Marathon. Unlike the previous Championship in Lyon, no events were contested across disability classifications, whereby results would be giving a points weighting to determine a winning athlete. Many events are open to athletes with lower classification numbers, who are deemed to have a greater impairment, such as the men's discus F56, which can also be contested by F54 and F55 classification athletes.http://www.paralympic.org/sites/default/files/document/150709135904590_IPCATHWC%2B2015%2BCompetition%2BSchedule%2BVersion%2B3.pdf Competition Schedule Version 3: Doha 2015 IPC Athletics World Championships IPC 9 July 2015 13 September 2015  ● Opening ceremony   Events ● Closing ceremony April October Date → 26 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 100 m MenDetails T53T11T12 T13 T42T54 T51T52T47 T33T34 T35T36T44 T37T38 WomenDetails T34T37T38 T53T54 T52 T36 T11T12 T13T35T44 T47T42 200 m MenDetails T54T37T38 T53T44T35T47 T13 T42 T11T12 T36T34 WomenDetails T53T54 T52 T44T35 T11T36T12 T13 T47 T37T38 400 m MenDetails T20T34 T11T12 T54T44T53 T13 T37T38 T51T52 WomenDetails T11T12 T13 T37T38T53 T47 T54 T44 T20 T52T34 800 m MenDetails T13 T38 T36T34 T20T54T53 WomenDetails T54T53 T34T20 T11 1500 m MenDetails T46 T54 T20 T13T52 T11T37T38 WomenDetails T54T20 T11 T13 5000 m MenDetails T54T11 T13 T20 WomenDetails T54 T20 Marathon MenDetails T12T13T46T52T54 WomenDetails T12T54 4 × 100 m relay MenDetails T11-13T42-47 WomenDetails T11-13T42-47 4 × 400 m relay MenDetails T53/54 WomenDetails T53/54 Long jump MenDetails T13 T44 T20T12 T38 T42 T11T36 T47 T37 WomenDetails T42T44 T47 T20 T38 T37 T11T12 Triple jump MenDetails T47 T20 WomenDetails T20 High jump MenDetails T42 T12 T47 T44 Shot put MenDetails F42F36F12F20 F32F41 F35F38F33F37 F34F44F57 F46F53 F40 F55 WomenDetails F34 F37F57F20 F55F54F41 F53F35F40 F33F44 F36 F32 F12 Discus throw MenDetails F56F44 F46 F52 F11 F42 F57F37 F34F12 WomenDetails F41 F11 F44 F38 F57F52 F55 F12 Javelin throw MenDetails F34 F37 F57 F54F11 F13F55 F46F38F41 F44 WomenDetails F11F54 F13 F34F56F37 F46 Club throw MenDetails F32 F51 WomenDetails F32 F51 Ceremonies ● ● Records Brokens Medal table The medal table at the end of the competition saw China at its head in both total medal count and gold medals won.http://www.paralympic.org/static/info/doha-2015/eng/zz/ZZM195U_QA2015AT@@@@@@@ENG.htm Medal Count 1 November 2015 IPC The host nation Qatar failed to achieve a medal. 41 26 18 24 21 24 13 16 10 13 9 9 11 3 1 9 5 7 8 14 13 8 7 9 8 4 10 7 2 0 5 0 0 4 8 14 4 8 5 4 7 2 4 4 3 3 5 5 3 4 8 3 2 4 3 2 3 3 1 3 3 1 3 2 7 2 2 3 4 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 1 2 2 1 1 2 0 5 2 0 3 1 5 4 1 4 3 1 3 2 1 2 2 1 2 0 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 3 1 0 3 1 0 2 3 0 2 2 0 2 2 0 2 0 0 2 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 3 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 Participating nations Below is the list of countries who agreed to participate in the Championships and the requested number of athlete places for each.http://www.paralympic.org/static/info/doha-2015/eng/zz/ZZS102C_QA2015AT@@@@@@@ENG.htm NPCs List IPC 24 October 2015 22em AFG 2013 (2) ALG (15) ANG (5) ARG (21) AUS (48) AUT (6) AZE (10) BRN (6) BLR (8) BEL (5) BER (1) BRA (40) BUL (9) CMR (4) CAN (31) CPV (2) CHI (4) CHN (79) TPE (4) COL (8) CRO (14) CUB (6) CYP (1) CZE (14) DEN (7) EGY (14) EST (3) ETH (1) FIN (10) FRA (17) GER (31) GBR (47) GRE (22) HKG (4) HUN (7) ISL (2) IND (15) INA (7) IRI (19) IRQ (4) IRL (9) ITA (13) JAM (7) JPN (56) JOR (5) KAZ (8) KUW (11) LAT (7) LBA (5) LTU (8) LUX (1) MAC (5) MAS (6) MEX (25) MDA (1) MGL (2) MNE (3) MAR (9) MOZ (5) NAM (8) NED (18) NZL (8) NCA (1) NGR (7) NOR (2) PAK (3) PAN (2) PNG (2) PHI (1) POL (38) POR (23) QAT (8) RUS (76) RWA (2) KSA (5) SEN (2) SRB (5) SVK (4) SLO (2) RSA (22) ESP (27) SRI (6) SWE (9) SUI (9) SYR (1) THA (19) TTO (2) TUN (9) TUR (24) UKR (31) UAE (18) USA (76) UZB (11) VEN (5) VIE (4) ISV (1) References External links Official web-site Category:World Para Athletics Championships IPC Athletics World Championships IPC Athletics World Championships Category:International athletics competitions hosted by Qatar IPC Athletics World Championships Category:2010s in Doha Category:July 2015 sports events in Asia Category:2015 in disability sport Category:Parasports in Qatar Category:2015 in international sports
