The Paralympics moves on to day two of action in Tokyo and Hong Kong’s focus will shift to the Makuhari Messe Hall where the women’s wheelchair fencing gets under way.

Decorated Paralympians Alison Yu Chui-yee, Justine Charissa Ng and Chung Yuen-ping will all compete in the women’s epee indivdual categories, with the medals decided on the day.

Yu has 11 medals dating back to her Paralympic debut in Athens in 2004 and the 37-year-old took silver in Rio five years ago. While she said that she is not setting a target for herself in Tokyo, it is hard to look past one of the world’s best.
