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 fencing competitions. Fencing for athletes in wheelchairs was first introduced by Sir Ludwig Guttmann in 1953 and it was included in the Paralympic Games in Rome, 1960. Since then, the rules have been gradually adapted according to advances in the techniques of fixing the wheelchair to the ground. 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, 谷p谷e (men and women) and sabre (men).
