I don't like it when People talk bad about this video I'm in it im not michael Phelps my name is Kate Williams im from the United States and I can tell you it was an Awesome Amazing Experience and It's something I'll Remember for the Rest of my life I have Lots of new Friends from Different countries and I plan to Go to LA as an Athlete or A spectator in 4 years It's Just awesome So many people so many friends so many Celeberties I shook Hands with the VP of the United States it was just amazing
Let's see how many athlete's I recognize from Team USA. 0:33 Katie Williams and her mom, Special Olympics Indiana USA (Swimming) (I also accompanied her as one of the four athletes who went to the World Games from Indiana) 1:14 Christina Vassar (in red jersey) Special Olympics New Jersey (Track and Field) 2:08 Brittany Tagliareni and I think her mom, Special Olympics Florida (Tennis) I am proud to have met these new friends of mine and many others at the during our World Games experience. :D
I am tired of these derogatory comments too but name calling, cursing, and wishing Armageddon upon someone because of those comments isn't what the spirit of Special Olympics is about. My last reply wasn't just about the comment 6 months ago but some of your other comments too. I definitely want you to defend Special Olympics and debate against those who threaten or make fun of it, but try to avoid being tempted to make destructive counter points in your future debates with these individuals.
Too bad this video didn't show John "Jackie" Barrett, Canadian Powerlifter, and his Special Olympics World Record Squat at 267.5 KGs. Despite having a stomach flu three days before and had a rocky start on the Squat, he was still able to break a world record. "The Newfoundland Moose" all the way.
So I ask you then what is Special Olympics? Is it just a collection of sports that is offered year round for people with intellectual disabilities just to give them something to do? How do you define it based on the 'research' you have done? Also if some of the research articles you looked into are online, would you mind sharing some of those links with me? I am not going to criticize you about the articles, I just would like to read them.
There is no need for that. As a representative of Special Olympics you serve as a role model and using phrases such as "go to hell" will not only show how frustrated you are with a disagreeable individual but will likely to lead to misinterpretations of what a member of Special Olympics is really like.
I pity you, especially in being deceived by that one person and also receiving so much destructive criticism. In my experiences with Special Olympics as an athlete, coach volunteer, Purdue senior, and advocate there is almost no grounds as to what that someone has said to you. Special Olympics is more than just a collection of sports and I will be happy to tell you why if you can lend me an open mind. After which you can just take it with a grain of salt or ask more questions.
@jb55101 I am not a looser, and I will tell you that someone told me all kinds of lies about how wonderful the Special Olympics is so there for I had every reason to be this way! Now this is there are so called professionals that will help at all! No one is putting anyone down, because that is bullshit, and you know it! Everything good can come about for the way the Special Olympics operates when it involves someone intentionally tanking the Special Olympics, and that is a fact!
@jb55101 Carefully study what the events are in the Special Olympics, and then tell me that this is not fake! There is every reason in the book for someone to join the Special Olympics so that they can then do what I have mentioned for all of the reasons that someone has to tell about, and all of these reasons are justified without any questions at all! I hope that you do your home work carefully so that you get the record straight! All this business about disability is crap fact!
Get this straight, & that is that I have not been deceived about anything that I have said about the Special Olympics, because I have carefully researched it! Now I have taken all of what everyone has told me about the Special Olympics with a grain of salt, because I was open to reading up, as well as watching videos on it! No I am not frustrated about anything involving Special Olympics, I am irritated about everything involving the Special Olympics, because all of is an outright lie!
I don't try to define these so called intellectual disabilities! Now you can go to the Special Olympics website, & you can then read the rule books on the sports of the Special Olympics, then carefully research the videos that have been done about how the Special Olympics sports have been done, & then you will know exactly what I have been talking about!
@jb55101 Get this anyone who is a purist about sports does, and will give a fuck about how the Special Olympics does operate, and you know that it is the truth! Now I will tell you this, and that is the only reason that is legitimate to modify the rules of any sport is because of someone being in a wheelchair, and that is a fact! I do not go for any of this business what is called a mental handicap, because that is purely bogus, and you know that is the truth! Coaching is mental fact!

You're not the only one because what I said goes for everyone else too, including me.

Too bad this video didn't show John "Jackie" Barrett, Canadian Powerlifter, and his Special Olympics World Record Squat at 267.5 KGs.
Despite having a stomach flu three days before and had a rocky start on the Squat, he was still able to break a world record.
"The Newfoundland Moose" all the way.
Can i download this video from somewhere (as an avi or mpeg file) in order to payback offline?
So I ask you then what is Special Olympics? Is it just a collection of sports that is offered year round for people with intellectual disabilities just to give them something to do? How do you define it based on the 'research' you have done?
Also if some of the research articles you looked into are online, would you mind sharing some of those links with me? I am not going to criticize you about the articles, I just would like to read them.

Do you know the title of this song?
Jennifer Hoover "it's a wonderful winning world"

Hey, have you ever heard of Adolf Hitler?
You two would get along. :)
am i the only one that finds the term 'special olympics' a bit offensive? lol or am i too sensitive?
