Did you know that Special Olympics International (SOI) and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) are two separate organizations recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Both are non-profit global sports organizations focusing on athletes with disabilities. What Makes Us Different? THE ATHLETES Special Olympics athletes have intellectual and developmental disabilities. Athletes of all ability levels have the opportunity to train and compete in over 30 Olympic-type sports. Through the power of sports, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities discover new strengths and abilities, skills, and success. GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT Special Olympics is the largest grassroots sports organization for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the world: reaching over 4 million athletes and Unified Sports® partners, one million coaches and volunteers, Special Olympics delivers nearly 50,000 games and competitions every year over 200 countries. WORLD GAMES Special Olympics World Games are held independently from the Olympics & the Paralympics Alternating every two years between summer and winter, Special Olympics World Games are the flagship events and have grown to be an international demonstration of inclusion, acceptance, and unity. All around the world our athletes train and strive to achieve their very best every day. The next Special Olympics World Winter Games will take place in Turin, Italy in 2025 – JOIN US. #Turin2025 #SpecialOlympics #choosetoinclude
