Greco was born with cerebral palsy, which mostly affects the right side of her body. It was her first Paralympic Games medal, winning her race in 3 minutes, 50.815 seconds. In the first wheelchair fencing final, Li Hao of China won gold in the men's individual saber. He defeated Artem Manko of Ukraine 15-12 in the final.
Organizing committee spokesman Masa Takaya said the athletes were “from different sports and different countries.” But he gave few details and said the athletes have been placed in isolation.“Whether or not there is a cluster should be based on the advice from specialists,” he said. Dr. Shigeru Omi, a medical advisor for the government, criticized International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach for returning to Tokyo to attend Tuesday's opening of the Paralympics.
