Illinois Special Olympics Proceeding With Summer Games Virtually

The annual Special Olympics summer games are underway across the state, and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, athletes are competing virtually.

 

Dave Breen, President and CEO of Special Olympics Illinois said even though the Special Olympics are virtual, athletes are participating in a wide array of sports.

 

 

In a typical year, around 4,200 athletes and 2,500 volunteers would participate in the summer games. Breen said he hopes the events return to in-person next year.
