To analyze the performance of each member of the Iraqi wheelchair fencing team in the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final of the Paris 2024 Paralympics, the researchers used an analytical approach on a sample of the Iraqi wheelchair fencing team. After collecting and statistically processing the data, the researchers arrived at the following key findings: The results showed no statistically significant differences between the performances of the Iraqi team members in the tournament under study. However, the fluctuations in the Iraqi players' performance in winning touches and avoiding touches won by their opponents significantly impacted the team's overall performance, particularly in the final match. The researchers recommend the following: It is essential to utilize analytical and diagnostic methods for the results of regional, international, and Olympic championships, especially when Iraqi fencing teams participate. It is important to utilize the findings of this study to improve the performance of Iraqi fencing teams.
