When to watch wheelchair fencing during the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games

The wheelchair fencing competition will be held from Tuesday, September 3 to Saturday, September 7 during the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games.

Athletes’ wheelchairs remain in a fixed position. Fencers cannot move freely up and down the piste, instead they must face their opponent in an up-close-and-personal bout.

Just like Olympic fencing, athletes compete individually in foil, épée and sabre, as well as team events in foil and épée.

Athletes are divided into two Paralympic categories. Category A fencers have displayed good control of their trunks, while Category B fencers have an impairment which impacts their trunk or fencing arm.

Venue

Wheelchair fencing will take up residency inside Paris' iconic Grand Palais, which sits adjacent to other monuments of the city such as the magnificent Pont Alexandre III bridge and the wide swaths of greenery at the Esplanade des Invalides.
