The 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games were held this year in Los Angeles. This was the first time the Games had been held in the United States in 16 years. Approximately 6,500 athletes from 165 countries around the world arrived in the United States ready to compete for the gold medal in their events. With all of these athletes present though, there are many volunteers and organizers behind the scenes who make sure that the Games are able to occur without major difficulties. The Games are a great platform to celebrate individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, giving them lasting memories.
