  • Special Olympics
    February, 2011
    by Alex DiMusto

    Because exercise and competition fuels the human spirit, the Special Olympics works to build hope and inspiration for millions of athletes each year. Included in the Special Olympics programs are year-round training for prospective athletes in both winter and summer sports. In addition to worldwide games held every two years, the Special Olympics provides venues for regional competitions every year. Athletes who participate in the Special Olympics compete under the motto, “Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.”

    Although the original concept for the Special Olympics called for a one-time summer event, the idea of an ongoing tradition promoting competition among special-needs athletes captured the imagination of Eunice Kennedy Shriver. Shriver’s sister, Rosemary Kennedy, became mentally handicapped following a lobotomy in 1941. Shriver never recovered from the shock she received upon learning about the results of the surgery, and with her passion for helping people with special needs and her personal contacts, she became the driving force behind the Special Olympics as we know them today. More than 1,000 Canadian and American athletes vied for medals in the first International Special Olympics Summer Games, which took place in 1968 in Chicago. Funding for the first Special Olympics came from a $25,000 gift from the JPK Foundation. Just three years later, the Special Olympics won permission from the United States Olympic Committee to use the term “Olympics.”

    In 1977, Steamboat Springs, Colorado, hosted the first International Special Olympics Winter Games. Since that time, winter games and summer games alternate every two years.
