A company that has given a lot of support to Special Olymics Samoa has congratulated Special Olympics Samoa athletes who have successfully completed their events at the Special Olympic World Games in the United States.
A number of them have won medals, including gold medals.
The first medal was won by Kim Perenise winning a Gold Medal in the 400 meter run.
The second medal Samoa received was from Iosefo Aleli which was a Silver medal in the 400 Meters.
Samoa’s 3rd medal came from Petelo Evile clearing a Gold Medal in the shot put competition. After missing out in the medals in the 400 meters, Seinafo Mavaega fought out a tough and close competition to win gold in the 200 meter run. Brett Oloapu also won the Bronze in the 200 meters.
Receiving medals and being able to place in these competition is a feat not often obtained by athletes as athletes from around the world have descended upon Los Angeles with months of preparation with the goals of receiving medals.
The Special Olympics Samoa has no doubt placed Samoa on the map when it comes the World Games. The World Games ended yesterday.
