You have to be mentally ret*d to compete in the special olympics. They don't take other kinds of disabilities, even if you are exceedingly clumsy.
Then there is the paralympics, but that is for people who are super athletes who also have physcial disabilities, like missing a limb, or paralyzed or something.
I know this because i looked it up after watching the southpark episode where cartman fakes being ret*d just so he can win the tropy. (a good one, by the way)
yes, even southpark inspires serious interest and research in obscure topics.
Actually you do
not have to be mentally challenged to compete in Special Olympics. I have AS and been compete in SOVA for 11 years. Your information is wrong because you do not know well. My mom told me this herself and she in charge of Area 23 in VA. She also my swimming coach in SOVA.
Where did you find this information anyway?
