Special Olympics International is the world's largest sports organization for people with intellectual disabilities, with over half a million volunteers, it serves over 5.1 million athletes in 172 countries. Let's remember that the Special Olympics recognized in 1988 by the International Olympic Committee (not to be confused with the Paralympic Games) take place every 2 years alternately (summer games, winter games). They are aimed at people with mental disabilities aged 8 to 80, the emphasis being on the participation of each rather than on the sporting achievement and aim to allow people with disabilities to thrive through sport. The motto of the Special Olympics is "Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt". BF/ HaitiLibre
