Coutya wins gold at Para Fencing Worlds

At the Para Fencing World Championships, British wheelchair fencer Dimitri Coutya defeated Chinese competitor Yanke Feng to claim gold.

At the South Korean Iksan Stadium, Coutya came back from a 9-4 deficit to win the men’s foil category B 15-11.

Following his first success at the World Championships in 2017, the 27-year-old, who won two gold medals at the 2024 Paralympics, won the title for the second time.

It’s my first competition since returning from Paris, so being in such a demanding environment with incredibly tough athletes is mentally challenging, Coutya said.
