In Parafencing fencing, athletes who use wheelchairs are eligible to compete in Parafencing events internationally and in North American Cup events. However, there are events called "Walk and Roll" in which anyone may participate using wheelchair apparatus. At FIT, we encourage our wheelchair and ambulatory athletes to participate with each other.
