The farthest men's club throw in the F31/F32 classification is 36.73 metres and was set by Lahouari Bahlaz (Algeria) in Christchurch, New Zealand, on 25 January 2011. Zeljko Dimitrijevic (Serbia) won gold at the Paralympic Games in London, UK, on 31 August 2012 with a throw of 26.88 metres - the farthest distance thrown in the men's F51 class. As the name suggests, the club throw involves throwing a wooden club and is the Paralympic equivalent of the hammer throw. Wheelchair-bound competitors throw the club from a seated position, and athletes with cerebral palsy are eligible for the F31 and F32 classifications.

Bahlaz also holds the Paralympic record of 36.31 metres, set at the Games in London, UK, on 31 August 2012. He won the bronze medal in London (behind gold medallist Dimitrijevic) after the distances were adjusted to take into account the level of each competitor's disability.
