Special Olympics Saskatchewan is extremely proud of the six Saskatchewan athletes and one coach who competed as part of Team Canada at the Special Olympics World Summer Games in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Combined, the Saskatchewan athletes won eight gold, two silver and four bronze medals for Team Canada!
The Team Canada Roster included Richard Dolan and Dawn Rieben who competed in 10 pin bowling, Addison Czaya-Woolly who competed in athletics and Colby Kosteniuk, Michael Qing, and Tianna Zimmerman who competed in swimming. This was the largest contingent of individual Saskatchewan athletes selected to Team Canada. Each one of these athletes worked incredibly hard at their sport to get to the level they are at today. Congratulations to the athletes and coach Jackie on an amazing showing at World Games!
