I am not a wheelchair user, but I love watching regular fencing matches, too)) Accidentally misread as "anything above the neck" for sabre and got nervous (I have pretty bad aiming). It is really cool that the chairs are fixed as it would impair coordination if someone has it already sinking, as we are humans, not gazelles or owls with 360 degree vision: a small distraction could create a loophole and a cheat... As a shortie (149 cm) I approve of the arm reach deciders)) Possibly category A for this one. The speed also stresses me out (explanation in wheelchair basketball?), but I can get used to this one, at least)) Teams for the win!
