Limassol is a resort town with • beautiful clean beaches, • a promenade, • an eucalyptus park and • excellent sports infrastructure. In competitions in Paralympic fencing, or, as it is also called, „fencing in wheelchairs“, athletes with damaged spinal cord, amputated limbs or other injuries take part. Athletes fencing on electrical equipment, sitting in fixed carriages, at arm's length with arms (rapier, saber, sword). All the other refereeing rules do not differ from ordinary fencing. For rapiers and saber fencers • the affected surface is the same as in "ordinary" fencing, • for fencers - the whole body is above the waist. • Hits are recorded using an electro-fixer. • An injection into the affected surface brings a point. • Men fencing on swords, sabers and rapiers, • women on swords and rapiers. • Refereeing in the Paralympic fencing is held according to the rules of the FIE. • Classification - belonging to one or another category is determined by the nature of the disease and the athlete’s degree of mobility associated with it: - category “A” includes athletes with amputation of the lower extremities and cerebral palsy (cerebral palsy); - to category “B” - athletes with injuries of the thoracic spine; - to category “C” - fencers with injuries of the cervical spine. - Before the competition Paralympics undergo a medical examination without fail. •
