Special Olympics Florida athlete Andy Miyares enjoyed a rare treat today (May 1) when he had the opportunity to share the pool at Meadowbrook Aquatic Center with Olympic champions Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff. This exhibition race took place during the 2009 SOMD-Baltimore City Swim Qualifier. Phelps earned 8 gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and Hoff collected a silver and 2 bronze in her events. Miyares is also a world record holder, and is the only ranked Down syndrome athlete in the world. Hoff is in the left lane, Miyares in the center and Phelps appears on the right.
Amazing!!!!, thanks everyone who beleive in life!. I love you Andy, Luis.
