Congrats Victoria. So happy to see these Athletes doing what their love even with their struggles and having a great time. To all those athletes, God Bless You All.
Mad respect
I am a Special Oympics athlete it took me 16-17 seconds to swim a 25 yard freestyle, and took me 37-40 seconds to swim a 50 yard freestyle.
But how long will it take you to a hundred meter
@@michaelmaccollin6827 Faster than that girl would swim
Lol
I have to say she's lucky she even got there
How long will it take you in four laps
Congratulations and good job to everyone who participated

Congratulations Victoria...we are PROUD of you!!
I've been doing swimming almost about 3 years ago before I started soccer my 6 time gold medalist and swimming
Screaming "GO TORI" from PA ♥️
Y'all don't have no room to be talking about someone that has love for the game like I do I've been Special Olympics for 7 years I still think that people like us desert the chance in the desert to be who they want to be I don't like people making fun of other people like us do you look in the mirror everyday do you get up every morning and say I'm perfect Nobody's Perfect Special Olympics changed my life I give her mad respect for her but she's she's doing something that she loves nobody should make fun of her because it's a cruel world out there I've been bullied my whole life Special Olympics has helped me through that I don't think anybody should go through what I go through nobody should be making for the nobody cuz we're all human beings
@@atomlightstone yes I can it's a free country
Your message has bad grammar. Maybe you were using voice to text dictation? People will obviously rag on you for typing bad if you say you have a mental disability.
But I agree with you. I think this is a great thing.
@@SuperD00D I don't really care what people think of me because I can care less about what people think
@Over Opinionated Bogan sometimes people do but I don't let it get to me at all wish people had little more respect for people
Thank you for showing what someone with TARS can do anything! I also have TARS and understand what having a strong supportive Mom means. Keep reaching for Gold.
Proud of you for Victoria
I'm a special Olympic athlete I'm very proud of how she swimmed
Do you like being special?

This was a special moment in their lives, these rude jokes are really getting me down
Should I tell him?
People can be really awful. Not everyone is though.
Just a Nautilus are you insinuating he is retarded? Some people have a heart. But you are rude, sure you’ll get what’s coming to you one day.
Good job! Wish I could swim like that. How come The Olympics is on regular TV, but The Special Olympics is on cable like ESPN?
there in tv us on the national s
The first time I did Special Olympics was in my high school days. I did basketball, softball, ice skating, track & field. Even today, I’m still a current Special Olympic athlete. This past Summer, I did Track & field. In the autumn, I did bowling.
yo her technique is clean!
Amazing!
Congratulations Victoria
Well done miss! Good inspirational speech too! #Rolemodel

Why did the one girl dive in? I'm honestly curious.

Because people like us deserve the same qualities like you guys have we're all freaking human beings and learn to love each other God damn it's not like espeon's doing this because Special Olympics has been there for 50 years okay
Special Olympics or who is less disabled
Why can't they compete in reular olympics?

Special Olympics > NBA
Here's a fun fact. Originally, the special Olympics called "the retarded Olympics" UNTIL people started to become butt hurt, and offended. So they remained this amusing sport to the "special Olympics"
I can swim faster than them
buckeye998197 y 😂
buckeye998197 y I know cause you’re special. You should try out for the special Olympics
spunky2006 are you replying to me?
spunky2006 Jesus dude take a chill pill

Travler Simpon you dont think normal olympic athletes are special lmao
Dangerous Thoughts actually id drown now. the fact that itd take me 6 months to compete with top competition at anything is sad on their part. if i went against middle school girls id get smoked. do you find this worth watching?
Congratulations
