The Last Word…

29 Jul

Chef de Mission for Team BC, Shawn Fevens, reflects on what a week it was at the  2010 Special Olym­pics Canada Summer Games in London, Ontario!

“When the dust had cleared and the competition had wrapped up, Team BC had collected an astounding 258 medals. And perhaps even more impressive, over 200 personal best performances!  Each member of the Team repre­sented the province with pride and left nothing on the field of play. Congratulations to all of Team BC!”


And here they are – The Medals:

  • 5 Pin Bowling– 11 Gold, 6 Silver, 5 Bronze
  • 10 Pin Bowling– 10 Gold, 7 Silver, 3 Bronze
  • Softball– 1 Gold, 1 Fourth Place Finish
  • Soccer– 1 Gold– A Division
  • Swimming– 30 Gold, 40 Silver, 33 Bronze
  • Athletics– 17 Gold, 20 Silver, 24 Bronze
  • Powerlifting– 17 Gold, 7 Silver, 0 Bronze
  • Rhythmic Gymnastics– 6 Gold, 7 Silver, 13 Bronze

Total:      93 Gold     87 Silver     78 Bronze
