Here are the thoughts of ParalympicsGB’s wheelchair fencers, who picked up bronze in the
men’s team epee event earlier today, beating Poland 45-28.

Dimitri Coutya on coming away from Paris with four medals: “I
always find the Games so incredible. Three or four years of your life go into
five days of competition. It’s horribly gruelling but I’m really proud of what
we have all put in.

“It’s really tough to come away with a Paralympic medal so
this is a feat we should all be very proud of. I’m very proud to call these
guys my team-mates.”

Oliver Lam-Watson on winning bronze: “Sometimes
we get focused on ‘the only thing is gold’ as we aim for that and when you
don’t achieve it, it’s really tough. It was a really tough moment for all of us
in different ways. Dimi (Coutya) is doing his fifth day on the trot.

“To lose that (semi-final) fight and then turn it around for the bronze
medal fight is really difficult, so I’m really proud of these guys and myself
as well. We were all able to go out there and give it everything. In the last
fight of the Games for us, that’s all you can ask for.”

Piers Gilliver on bouncing back from losing his individual gold medal match on Friday: “It
has been tough, it was hard to get over the loss yesterday.

“But that’s the
beauty of having a great team like this, we help each other through tough
patches and bounce back.”
