Special Olympics had an amazing year having their 5th Special Olympics USA Games. After a few years of isolation and canceled events because of covid they were finally able to have the event and celebrate athletes from around the US. They also held their Unified Cup in Detroit that was very successful.

Best fan moment of the year
Watching more than 5,000 athletes from all 50 states and Caribbean stream into Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Florida for the opening ceremonies of the Special Olympics USA Games. It was a perfect moment of recognition for the athletes who worked so hard to get there, and a chance to celebrate them for the coaches, friends, families, fans and supporters in the stands.
How this fandom made the world a better place
Special Olympics is working to make every part of our society more equitable and inclusive, using sports as the mechanism. And the best part is, you can be a part of the movement by celebrating the athletes, by volunteering or just by helping spread the word about their Inclusion Revolution.
