Tokyo 2020 Bebe Vio wins second Paralympic gold
Bebe Vio beat Jingjing Zhou of China 15-9 in the final to defend her Paralympic wheelchair fencing title against the same opponent as Rio 2016.
The Italian captured the globe's imagination with her performance five years ago at Rio 2016 and the popular 24-year-old didn't disappoint putting on a dominant display.
Vio cruised through the pool stage and look in control throughout all of the knockouts. Zhou, the current world number five, fell aside to Bebe's aggressive style.
The win comes after a set of challenging circumstances surrounding preparations.
"I puked so many times this morning I was so stressed. And I fell on the floor after the semi-final. So, I was not feeling so well," she said to Olympics.com.
