Matt Hammond, Para Fencing Performance Manager, said:
“Following a fantastic medal outcome in Paris, the Wheelchair Fencing World Class Programme has selected eight athletes to start the drive towards Los Angeles in 2028. Working with this group, an exciting mix of experience and youth, the ambition is build upon the medal haul in 2024 and maintain our position as a top three wheelchair fencing nation. Inevitably standards will improve, but we are confident that we have the talent to achieve our goals in LA.”
