I wonder why the wheels are even on the chairs? They are locked to a metal frame......

If you hadn't included the picture, I would have thought that they where fencing with wheelchairs instead of foils.

I'm pretty sure it's legit... check the source.

Actually, wheelchair fencing has been around for a while. The
US Fencing Association even has a
national ranking system in place.
I've been fencing (mostly foil) on and off since I was a freshman in High School. When I first heard of wheelchair fencing, I didn't think it would be very impressive, but you oughta see some of these guys/girls! It's actually pretty amazing how quickly they can move. And considering how much of Olympic-level fencing is dependent on mental strategy, quickness, and timing, even these handicapped atheletes can compete at a high level.
