Day One of the Special Olympics Recap.

The 2016 Florida Special Olympics was held at the ESPN Wide World of Sports. The first day of these olympics started with a Track and Field meet, where the first 2 events consisted of a 5k run and a 10k walk. Friends and family of the competitors arrived early to show their support and cheer on from the stands.

As the day progressed, more activities took place, such as the much anticipated long jump meet. This event had a great start with sunny skies, but unfortunately, it was unable to follow through due to stormy weather conditions. Luckily, one event; volleyball, was unaffected by the rain because it was held indoors. Once the weather cleared up, cycling took place. The fierce competitors did not let gray clouds hinder their bright spirits from pedaling to the finish line.
