Carlos Soler Márquez (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkaɾlos soˈleɾ ˈmaɾkeθ], born 16 February 1972) is a Spanish wheelchair fencer who has represented Spain at five Paralympic Games.

[1] While serving in the military, he had an accident involving a thirteen-meter fall that resulted in him becoming a paraplegic.

Attending the event caused him to take up the sport[2][4] in 1993 at the Garden City Fencing Club where he was coached by Antonio Marzal.

[2] Because of the amount of luggage he has to take in order to compete that needs to be checked, including a wheelchair and a bag with his fencing foils, not all of it arrives on the same plane.

[7] At the 2011 Italian hosted Wheelchair Fencing World Championships, he was one of three competitors representing Spain, all of whom were male.

[9][10] Going to London, he was sponsored by the city of Malaga and local companies from the area including Poyatos Orthopedics.

[5] He competed at the 2012 Summer Paralympics,[1] where he was Spain's only wheelchair fencing representative.

[12] In 2013, he was beginning to pass the torch to the next generation of Spanish wheelchair fencers, and was assisting Lorenzo Ribes in trying to get qualified for the 2016 Summer Paralympics.

[4] While Spain invented the sport, from the start of Soler' competitive career to the end of it, the level of overall support for fencing in Spain has declined, meaning there have been fewer opportunities for support, places to compete, sports scholarships and sponsorship opportunities.
