Special Olympics
A Brief Overview:

Special Olympics is organized athletic competition at the local, national, and international levels for retarded children and adults. In order to compete boys and girls must be 8 years of age or older, and most entrants usually have IQ scores of 80 or lower.

They are encouraged, nevertheless, to go on to interscholastic and intramural sports programs. Since its creation in 1968 the Special Olympics has grown to include over 100 foreign countries.

The program culminates in August of the year before the regular Olympic Games and includes the following events: aquatics, basketball, bowling, cycling, equestrian events, floor hockey, football, gymnastics, ice skating, poly hockey, roller skating, skiing, softball, tennis, track and field, volleyball, and wheelchair events, badminton, canoeing, powerlifting, golf, team handball, and table tennis. Winter sports were added in 1977.

Local games take place in at least 15,000 communities around the world.
