Meet Team PEI Athlete, Jordan Koughan

Special Olympics PEI, Team PEI 2024, Jordan Koughan

Jordan has been a Special Olympics athlete for 17 years. Jordan has participated and competed in a variety of sports with Special Olympics throughout the years. It was when Jordan started Speed Skating 5 years ago though that he knew he had found the sport for him. 

The Special Olympics Canada Winter Games 2024 will be Jordan's second National Games. He competed at the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games 2020, also in the sport of Speed Skating. Following a very successful 2020 Games, Jordan was named to the Special Olympics Canada 2022 Training Squad.  Despite the cancelation of the Special Olympics World Winter Games 2022, Jordan's favourite Special Olympics moment remains being selected to Team Canada. 

Looking ahead to Calgary, Jordan is hoping to grow and develop into the best version of himself he can to be successful at his sport. He is also hoping to have fun, and enjoy the experience. 

In February / March of 2024, Special Olympics PEI will be represented by 33 athletes, supported by 21 coaches and mission staff, at the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games 2024 in Calgary, Alberta. Team PEI will compete in 7 sports: 5-Pin Bowling, Cross Country Skiing, Curling, Figure Skating, Floor Hockey, Snowshoeing, and Speed Skating.  Be sure to follow along between now and February as we continue to Meet Team PEI 2024!
