Just over 24 hours after failing in his bid to win the sabre event in the men's wheelchair fencing, Dimitri Coutya claimed the Paralympic gold medal for Britain in the foil with a dominant display over Yanke Feng from China.
Coutya secured his first Paralympic crown 15-7. His success in category B for fencers whose coordination is affected in the trunk and leg followed powerful displays throughout the sessions at the Grand Palais in central Paris.
