Kinga Dróżdż of Team Poland competes against Xufeng Zou of Team China during the Women’s Sabre Category A fencing quarterfinals on day six of the Paris 2024 Summer Paralympic Games at the Grand Palais. In wheelchair fencing matches, competitors are seated in opposing wheelchairs that are fixed to a platform, ensuring close-combat tactics and limiting their ability to dodge attacks. In the sabre and épée categories, hits above the waist are counted.
