Unified Sports®
Unified Sports® is a competitive approach in which individuals with and without intellectual disabilities compete together in a sport.
The so-called Unified partners are people without intellectual disabilities who form a team with athletes with intellectual disabilities. The teams are made up of people of similar ages and abilities to make training and competition more exciting.
Know your facts:
- More than 1.4 million people worldwide participate in Unified Sports® offerings
- 16 Unified Sports will be held in Berlin
- A total of 871 Unified partners are participating in the Special Olympics World Games Berlin 2023
In Unified Sports®, clichés are broken down in a playful way, which is basically possible in almost all sports.
We asked our colleague Andrea Standecker how exactly this works and much more:
