Irma Khetsuriani won a second gold medal of the International Wheelchair and Amputee Sports Federation (IWAS) Wheelchair Fencing World Cup in Pisa today, triumphing in the women’s category B foil.

Khetsuriani, who won the equivalent sabre event yesterday, overcame Hong Kong's Nga Ting Tong in the final - although second place is the Hong Kongers' best solo result at this level.

Germany's Sylvi Tauber and Dutchwoman Iris Tenkink got bronze medals.

Edoardo Giordan secured gold for the home nation in the men's category A sabre, seeing off 22-year-old German Maurice Schmidt in the final.

Italy's Matteo Dei Rossi, who lost to Giordan in the semi-finals, took bronze alongside four-time Paralympic medallist Richárd Osváth from Hungary.

Fellow Hungarian Istvan Tarjanyi won the men's category B sabre gold, having won épée gold earlier this World Cup.

Silver went to Italy's Gianmarco Paolucci and bronzes to France's Peter Yohan and Laurent Vadon.

Yu Chui Yee, fresh from women’s category A épée gold, won the foil equivalent to secure the day's other gold medal, beating home fencer Andreea Mogos in the final.

Georgia's Nino Tibilashvili and Hungarian Zsuzsanna Krajnyák finished with bronze.

This is the last IWAS Wheelchair Fencing World Cup of 2021 and it is due to conclude tomorrow.
