Special Olympics Illinois

This colorful picture book tells the story of Adam, a young athlete running in his first big race at Special Olympics, of the challenges he faces, and the decisions he makes demonstrate his courage. Over a million intellectually disabled people a year compete in Special Olympics, and with issues of diversity and special needs children receiving so much attention, most people know someone like Adam, someone who wants to succeed in spite of great obstacles.

The Olympic Games are the most well-known of the various sports festivals of the ancient and modern world. They have set a precedent that is followed by many lesser known--and virtually unknown--international games intended to engage specific portions of the population. This work is an encyclopedia of 175 international games that follow a format similar to that of the modern Olympics. It begins coverage with the year 1896, the year the very first modern Olympics were held, and ends with the year 2000. Here is a sampling: The African Games, Asian Games, Deaf Games (summer and winter), European Special Olympics, Firefighters World Games, Gay Games, Goodwill Games, Huntsman World Senior Games, International Womens Games, Paralympics (summer and winter), Special Olympics (summer and winter), World Transplant Games, World Medical Games, and the X Games (summer and winter). This is an exhaustive work. Information includes host city and nation, event dates, the number of participating nations and athletes, the number of sports played, lists of the participating nations (and in which sports), medal results, venue information, significant highlights, and various other facts about the games. Only partial information is provided for some games, because of the lack of records.
