Dimitri Coutya
Dimitri was born in London, comes from London,
And took a fencing option at his school one day,
Such that in 2013 he was scooped and chosen,
For a fencing talent programme, down his way.
He was knocked over by a car at the age of two,
So that he’s got a spinal injury and a wheelchair,
But he would leave swimming hands down, rue,
For his agility in his chair at fencing’s joist fair.
He began in basketball and in the sport tennis,
Then in 2009 gained two bronzes for fencing.
In Chichester and at the UK School Games, biz,
Trained in fencing in the GB squad, menacing.
He was the World Champion in 2013, dexterity,
In 2016 in the Worlds, Hungary, he won silver,
Then for the Euros 2016 won bronze for ability,
Then at the Euros in Italy he won silver, calibre.
