1 ATHLETES, INSPIRATION, COMPETITION, HISTORY AND YOU... An Invitation to Cover the SPECIAL OLYMPICS WORLD GAMES LOS ANGELES 2015 Los Angeles, California USA 25 July 2 August 2015

2 ABOUT SPECIAL OLYMPICS WORLD GAMES In July 2015, nearly 7,000 athletes from up to 177 countries will converge on Los Angeles, historic site of two Olympic Games, for the world s largest event for athletes with intellectual disabilities: the Special Olympics World Games. From the Opening Ceremony at the iconic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to competitions in 25 sports at sites in Los Angeles and Long Beach, the Games will showcase athletes from ages 8-60+, competing among themselves and in Unified Sports Experience events with non-disabled peers, athletes and celebrities.

3 ABOUT SPECIAL OLYMPICS WORLD GAMES The Games Begun by Eunice Kennedy Shriver as a camp for children with intellectual disabilities in the 1960s, the first International Special Olympics Summer Games was held in Chicago (USA) on 20 July Nearly 1,000 athletes from Canada and the USA competed in athletics and swimming. The event was re-named as the Special Olympics World Summer Games in 1975 and after being held in the United States through 1999, was held for the first time outside the U.S. in Dublin, Ireland in Four years later, the World Summer Games debuted in Asia in Shanghai, China and then in continental Europe in 2011 in Athens, Greece. Athletes Competitors may be as young as eight years old, with no upper-age limit. Events will be held in divisions with as few as three competitors, but never more than eight. The top three finishers will receive gold, silver and bronze medals, respectively, with ribbons awarded to finishers in places four through eight. Athletes will, for the most part, be housed at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and University of Southern California (USC) campuses and walk to events held on campus. Events & Schedule Most national delegations will arrive in Los Angeles on or about 20 July 2015 and after receiving their Special Olympics World Games credentials, will depart for a unique Host Town experience from July. More than 80 Southern California communities will welcome athletes, coaches and officials for three days of training, sightseeing and entertainment before sending them to Los Angeles. Media will have access to most delegations during the Host Town programs. The Opening Ceremony will be held on Saturday, 25 July in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, site of the opening events of the 1932 and 1984 Olympic Games. A large-scale entertainment program will be mounted, in addition to the traditional parade of athletes and the formal opening protocol s.
