Wheelchair Fencing
Wheelchair Fencing is a competitive sport adapted from traditional fencing for athletes with physical disabilities. It allows participants to compete while seated in wheelchairs, ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to engage in the sport. The rules and equipment are similar to those used in able-bodied fencing, with modifications to accommodate the wheelchair.
In Wheelchair Fencing, athletes use three types of weapons: épée, foil, and sabre. Competitors are classified based on their level of physical ability, ensuring fair competition. The sport emphasizes agility, strategy, and quick reflexes, making it an exciting and dynamic event in the world of adaptive sports.
