FENCING
From a spectator's point of view, the most striking feature of fencing events is that all athletes are competing in wheelchairs that are fastened to the floor. However, these chairs allow the fencers freedom of movement and the activity is as fast-paced as in traditional able-bodied fencing competitions. Men and women who are wheelchair athletes, amputees, or athletes with cerebral palsy display remarkable agility and skill in these international competitions. Individual and team events are included in foil, épée (men and women) and sabre (men).
