  • Theese guys put profetional and colledge athleetes to shame im a high school guy and most of my friends hero"s are pro's like lebron or farve but they will never have as much heart as the special olypians have theese guys are my hero's and i wish i could have 1/2 as much heart as they do

  • Very cool video!

  • ''athletes''

  • Where is this?

  • @4soccerrox ... this was in the Comox Valley 2005

  • i clicked on this video becasue i thought i was going to have a laugh but this is actually very touching. this is very touching and the teamwork and good sportsmnship in this video is very, very, very amazing. truley inspiring.

  • 2:00....The woman coach is the same woman from the Home Hardware commercial with Tony!!

  • your a good person for posting this

  • woot for the special Olympics. it more epic then regular Olympics

  • Good vid.......And it's nice to see I don't see any hate comments....

    Mayb there is some good in people

  • I liked the girl doing the ribbon dancing. But altogether, a nice tribute to the Special Olympics. So many people can't see past the disabilities and see the same triumph and jubilation that they see from professional athletes.

  • Aha, I recognized some of the athletes in this video.

    I wasn't at this specific games; that cycle I had only qualified for softball which was being held separately from the provincial games proper at the time.

  • 4:20 was Obama

  • Does anybody have a video os Special Olympics held in Mpls? I was a volunteer and would like to see "my kids" again.

    Thanks

  • @roneli19 im on special olympics in st paul what area is yours

  • luv the salute/ deadlift very nice ; ) / these ppl r awesome.

  • Im not being mean... but are most people with Downs Syndrome short?

  • at 3:11 that guy used his back not his legs.. that might of hurt

  • -.-

  • most of them or there in wheelchairs

  • Very Cool and well done.

    I just saw my cousin in the video.

    How great

  • thats awesome. they are the true olympic heros. they pull through with strength when the world is against there. BRAVO!BRAVO!

  • screw looking up to the famous i look up to these people because they go to show you that no matter what if you put your mind to something you want to do you can achieve anything

  • At 1:08, isn't that one of the guys in the movie, the ringer?

  • xD i believe so

  • most of these guys probably dont want you to feel sorry for them. they probably just wanna be just as normal as everyone else and they show how they can be here.

  • @TheMVDP, but the fact that these people are in the Special Olympics rather than the regular Olympics shows that they AREN'T as normal as everyone else. Further, others will feel sorry for them regardless of whether they want it or not.

  • i would seriously love to watch a whole speclial olympics championship!

    It just shows that no matter what... you push and push... then you can do anything!!!

  • i thing the special o is great i have daughter that is 8 and has autisum and she lived with her mother and she came to live with me two years ago she was 6 and still in daipers didnt talk or feed her self and i felt that this would be her live for ever last year we sigen up for special oh and she signed the word daddy and just made me cry now i know there is help for her she loves it when we pull up to a game she ready to jump out the car she has a life now .

  • thats so good im a athlete and its good to see that people with disabiltys arent letting it get the best of them

    that black guy at the end was moving fast !

  • aww cute

  • even the music to this vid is "special".

  • i love this vid!

  • the last minutes of the video are awsome

  • this isnt to make fun of them or anything i love watching this but shotput??

    honestly, i dont think that they should have shotput?

  • it gives them self-confidence.

  • Videos like these really make me more determined to work at one of the Special Olympic games. I'd love to get chance to work with the athletes and experience what it's like to be there in person.

  • ya they are really good too

  • are they lifting eral wheights?

  • Yeah.

  • i love the guy at 2:00

  • I dont see why they dont let them compete in the real olypics I mean look the guy in 1.11 he's in olypic shape AND he's deff in better shape than me lol i bet if just one could do it theyd let em all

  • After suffering two severe head injuries as a teenager I gained a much greater appreciation for what the challenged endure on a daily basis. I applaud them all of these athletes for their accomplishments and wish I could shake each of their hands for their successes.

    Bless them all!

  • Theese People Prob Have More Determination Then All Of U So STFU

  • well said!

  • I think these gives them the chance to have a lot of fun with the other people. They r so determined more then regular people. They have so much fun that they dont care if they win or lose they just love having fun with everyone else.

  • Holy crud. The dude at 1:23. I could have sworn I knew him!!! :O

  • i laughed in happiness

  • this makes me cry in happiness.. i wish i could be so determined like they are.. this is like a dream come true for them. it makes me feel good to know that they d these kind of things in the world for these absolutley adorable kids.. to me there normal with extra abilities.. this video make me cry in the first minute.. god bless those kids. =]]

  • the guy at 310 he used his back to lift, you should always use your legs

  • i also forgot to mention a few weeks ago, i was there at those game but they didnt want to film the 10 pin bowlers cuz we had to bowl in another town( we stayed at CFB Comox) but bowled in another town*forget where though*

  • Pretty awsome video

  • before i saw this i typed this in to laugh......=[ but now after this video i cried. it inspired me to realize that they push 23123412412 times harder then we do. i realized that this isnt funny thanks for chaningg my life person who made this vvideo =]

  • same for me

  • Ok, in the beginning of the vid when it shows the guy in red getting ready to do the benchpress is actually one of my teammates, hes been in powerlifting a lot longer then i have but he says I have come a long ways since joining powerlifting. I can benchpress 100 pounds and deadlift 235 1/2 pounds which is waaaaaaaaay more then what I weigh.

  • great video!love it!

  • made me cry!... truly awsome canged my out look on menteltely chalenged

  • i just love all those kids that have to deal with all the tourment they go through but they all ways preval. all of those kids and adults with disabiltes are nice and kind, warm hearted and loving. i support them 50000000% of the way. awsome video

  • Those weight lifters were awsome.

  • This video was an....Insperation. these people really show what they're made of. They are great. I saw how they cheer on their team mates and show eachother they can do it. these people are no different than us, and if anyone else says differently, they need to look at themselves and point out their own flaws instead of others.

  • great video, youve changed my perspective on the mentally handicaped

  • Thank you!

  • no man, thank you!

  • there is NOTHING funnier than the special olympics

    and before u judge me note that im in a wheelchair and have a ton of respect for these people but i know that if u cant laugh at urself then what can u laugh at

  • These athletes have all the intangables!

  • aw bless there souls, Not saying this in a mean way but they are really really talented to what i thought good job :).

  • the video is awesome. Keep up the good work.
