PARIS — Italian fencing star Bebe Vio has to be content with the bronze medal at the Paralympic Games after China's Xiao Rong ended her dream of a third consecutive gold in wheelchair fencing. Vio cried after losing 15-9 to Xiao in the semifinals. She screamed with delight after beating Cho Eun Hye of South Korea 15-2 in the bout for bronze in the women's foil category B for fencers who have a disability that prevents voluntary movement of their trunk. Oksana Masters claimed another gold medal at the Games by defending her title in para cycling's H4-5 individual time trial.
