Sports Summary
Wheelchair fencing was one of the foundation sports on the Paralympic program in Rome, Italy, in 1960.
From a spectator’s point of view, its most striking feature is the fact that athletes compete 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 fencing competitions for able-bodied athletes.
