Carlos Soler Márquez

Carlos Soler Márquez (, born 16 February 1972) is a Spanish wheelchair fencer who has represented Spain at five Paralympic Games. Following the 2012 Games, he retired from the sport. He is also a fencing administrator and coach, having organized a World Cup event at the fencing club where he is president.

Personal Soler was born on 16 February 1972 in Málaga. He competed at the 2004 Summer Paralympics. He won the 2008 Spanish national championships, getting gold in two different events.

By 2012, Sole was the president of the Garden City Fencing Club. In 2012, he organized a World Cup event in Málaga. He left for London from Madrid in late August. Going to London, he was sponsored by the city of Málaga and local companies from the area including Poyatos Orthopedics. In December 2013, he marked a day to recognize people with disabilities by attending an event at a school in Cottenlengo to tell them about Paralympic sport in Spain and show them what people in wheelchairs can do. 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. Ribes has tried to encourage him to stay in the sport as a competitor.

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. This is something that has concerned Soler as he has moved into coaching.
