The Special Olympics are the only Olympics where contestants hug their officials. Or so it is said. I can attest. There were plenty of hugs. Lots of high-fives, bumps, and handshakes, too. But above all, I saw smiles. Miles of them. The joy was infectious. And genuine. For five days, London, Ontario hosted the 2010 Canada Summer Games of the Special Olympics. I'll never forget the experience. It was honour to be included as part of the media contingent for this event. For more photographs, please go to the Inafoto gallery for Special Olympics.
The dress shoes are those of a Yukon athlete, worn during the Opening Ceremonies at the TD Waterhouse Stadium.
