Who Are Our Athletes?
Our athletes are children and adults with intellectual disabilities. They are finding success, inclusion, and friendship in inclusive communities across the province.
Special Olympics athletes have intellectual disabilities (IDs). IDs happen in all cultures, races, and countries. The goal of Special Olympics Manitoba is to reach out to the over 18,000 individuals in Manitoba with intellectual disabilities who have not yet participated in our programs.
The fundamental difference that sets Special Olympics competitions apart from generic sports is that the athletes are grouped according to their skill level. This allows participation, competition, and winning at every level.
Our athletes range in age from two years and up, with many different backgrounds, interests, and levels of ability. They have the opportunity to get active in our youth programs or practice and compete year-round in the 17 sports we offer.
