Italian wheelchair fencing star Bebe Vio was knocked out to everyone’s surprise on Wednesday, September 4, in the semi-finals of the category B foil event, beaten 15-9 by China’s Rong Xiao. Visibly hampered at the start of the match by technical problems, Bebe Vio, Paralympic champion in 2016 in Rio and then in 2021 in Tokyo, was unable to catch up. Bebe Vio, one of the world’s parasport stars, was one of the torchbearers on the Place de la Concorde during the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games on August 28.
