Team Sa Make Their Way To The Special Olympics World Winter Games

Six South African athletes will represent the country at the 2025 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Turin, Italy. The international multi-sport event that takes place every four years is the worlds largest for athletes with intellectual disabilities.

Team SA was given an official send-off in Johannesburg today.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the last time the Winter Games took place was in Austria in 2017.

Figure skating Coach Glenda Slabbert is happy to return to the games.

We did very well then and then because COVID hit, we couldnt go to S weden. They cancelled and then we were supposed to go R ussia and then the war broke out and we havent done it for eight years now, because that was four years and another four years and now, we are finally going again, Slabbert.
