Paralympic fencing (UEB Contracted)

Synopsis

There are two images on this page: an image of two wheelchair fencers seen from the front and back, and inset in the top right corner, a top view of the two competitors showing the positions the chairs are fixed in. Competitors are electronically connected to a scoring system that records hits on their opponent. Each image has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. Two wheelchair fencers - This image fills most of the page apart from the top right corner. It shows a fencing match using rapiers. Like all fencers, the competitors wear masks that cover most of their heads. To the left of the image, one of the fencers sits in his wheelchair, facing away from you. His head is in the centre left of the image and is turned to the right. Down to the left is one of his arms with his hand holding a wheel of his chair. His arm to the right is held up diagonally to the right, holding his rapier in the air. Down from the fencer's head is his body, perched on the chair's seat and down again his two legs and feet, with the chair's two small wheels at the bottom of the page. The two large wheels are to the left and right. The other fencer is on the right of the page. He and his wheelchair are facing towards you. His head is near the top of the image border and facing to the right. He is holding out an arm to the left with his hand holding a rapier, which extends out to the left, where the tip is almost touching the arm of his opponent. He is in a semi-standing position, leaning to the left and holding onto the back of the chair seat with his other hand. The fencer's body and legs carry on down the page to the bottom. The small wheels of the chair are partly obscured by his feet. The large wheels are to the left and right. Wheelchair fencers seen from the top - This image, at the top right of the page, shows the two fencers and their wheelchairs seen from the top. One of them can be found in the bottom left of the image. He is facing up the page with head near the bottom of the image border. He has one arm out to the left, holding one of the chair's wheels. His other arm reaches out to the right, holding his rapier, the tip of which is touching his opponents shoulder. The fencer's wheelchair is partly obscured by his body and legs, which can be found up the page from his head. The wheelchair has its wheels to the left and right. The other fencer is in the top right of the image. He is facing down the page with his head near the top of the image border.
