This historic victory presents the best results for a delegation from the Mena region at the Games and reinforces the UAE’s commitment to inclusion, building on the legacy of the Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019.
Competing in the largest number of sports among delegations from across Mena, the 11-member UAE team showcased their talents across six disciplines: snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, figure skating, alpine skiing, speed skating and snowboarding.
Talal Al Hashemi, National Director, Special Olympics UAE and Head of Delegation to Turin 2025, praised the athletes’ perseverance: “I have witnessed firsthand the resilience and determination of our athletes as they competed on the snow-covered slopes of Turin. Their success is the result of months of rigorous training and preparation. Today, they return home with remarkable achievements, a testament to their diligent training and preparation.”
