2033 special Olympics World Games
SPORllNC) i VtNi THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS 2005
Various venues, Glasgow, Sat 2—Fri 8 July
The slogan of the Special Olympics is ‘let me win, but if I cannot win let me be brave in the attempt’. Those organising the games believe that through regular training and competition, people with a learning disability benefit physically, mentally and socially from
participation in sport.
Gordon Ritchie, head of marketing for the event, says it’s important to make a distinction between this and the Paralympics: ‘The majority of the athletes are under the age of 18 and some of them have severe learning disabilities, but this event is not about physical disabilities,’ he says. ‘They might not run the fastest 100 metres, but you can’t make comparisons with other athletes. If you think about it, competitors in the Special Olympics are going a step further because of the
difficulties they must overcome.’
This is the seventh Special Olympics Great Britain Games and organisers are predicting 2500 participants as well as thousands more to support them in this, one

The games are held every four years in the UK, but this is the first time Scotland has been the host. Nineteen teams from throughout the UK, including eight from Scotland, will take part in sports ranging from swimming, athletics and football to kayaking, golf and
Success at the Great Britain Games can lead to
participation in the Special Olympics World Summer Games which are held every four years, the next one being Shanghai 2007.
Just as with any Olympic competition, there’s a big flashy party planned for the opening ceremony, complete with lighting of the flame and a procession of the athletes. Music will be provided by Texas, who’ll perform an exclusive acoustic set, Lucie Silvas and record label buddy Norwegian Robert Post, who makes
his debut Scottish appearance. (Morag Buce)
