Ontario Special Olympics recently hosted their Provincial Winter Games in Sault Ste. Marie Jan 31 to Feb 2. Over 450 athletes across Ontario competed in the following winter sports; floor hockey, curling, snowshoeing, alpine skiing, cross country skiing, figure skating and speed skating. One of our Pickering Soccer Clubs All Abilities soccer players, Alex Cappuccitti participated in these games in speed skating and won 4 gold medals. Alex has been competing for 3 seasons and enjoys the sport very much, he has made many friends over the years. Congratulations to Alex on this incredible achievement and good luck to him in his future competitions. This is just one example of what is possible when you put your mind to it. The Special Olympics athlete oath is “Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt”, good words to live by.
