What are Special Olympics?

Special Olympics is a multifaceted sports, social and cultural program that includes training, skill training and sports games for children and adults with intellectual and intellectual disabilities (ID). While learning skills on the sports field, these people apply skill patterns in their daily lives and, by increasing their self-confidence, prepare themselves for a better and more effective life. Therefore, families, while changing their attitude and strengthening their beliefs, do not allow themselves and their children to lose their dynamism and vitality because of having a child with intellectual disabilities by participating in Special Olympics health promotion programs. Special Olympics is an annual international program that includes training and sports games for more than four and a half million children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Participation in these games is open to everyone from the age of 8 and up, and the programs are designed to serve all levels of ability.

The Special Olympics Charter and Motto are:

"Let me win. If I cannot win, let me be brave to compete"

The goal here is not to be a champion. The goal here is not to win. The world wants to help its children experience

life more naturally through sports and teamwork. The goal here is to change the way the world views these champions.
