Not to be picky, but as somone who competes regularly in various events for the physically disabled, I have to point out that "Special Olympics" is a term used for mentally impaired people.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the word used for those who do olympics events with physical disabilities is called “para” olympics. Also those olympics start up right after the summer olympics in the same city that had hosted the summer olympics, this year in Bejing. Thanks for getting back to me in response. :)
