VIDEO: GB wheelchair fencing squad working hard at University of Bath base with six months to go to Paris 2024 Paralympic Games
The Paris 2024 Paralympic Games are now just six months away and the world-leading GB wheelchair fencing squad are working hard at the University of Bath as they look to build on their tremendous success at Tokyo 2020.
