World Games Celebratios While our core purpose is to provide regular sports traiig for people with a itellectual disability, we also offer a structured competitio ladder for athletes who choose to compete.

Our Australia team retured home with a medal haul of 54 gold, 41 silver ad 43 broze medals, as well as 44 place ribbos (4-8). They also recorded 58 persoal best performaces durig the games.
