On the third day of the competitions, not only our athletes but also our audience convinced us of their qualities. Thank you for that! Here you can find a selection of our pictures and videos of the day.

 
There is a new favorite sport in town. During the powerlifting competitions all seats are taken and even in front of hall 5.2a (Messe Berlin) the crowd is jammed.

Everyone wants to experience the unique atmosphere when our athletes lift more than twice their body weight and were applauded just as loudly for a strong attempt.

But to be fair, we have to say that there is also such a good atmosphere at all other sports that we can only thank our spectators.

With a brilliant fireworks display in the Berlin summer sky and the extinguishing of the flame, the Special Olympics World Games Berlin 2023 came to a glorious close last Sunday. It was the end of the Games, but by no means the finale in terms of what needs to be done for inclusion.

Extraordinary commitment – our volunteers at the Games

Our volunteers in their distinctive purple shirts were everywhere. Without them, the Special Olympics World Games would not have been such a great success for everyone. Therefore, they deserve a huge thank you!
