China has an estimated 13 million people with intellectual disabilities. Though a latecomer to the Special Olympics, the movement has caught on quickly in China with around 650,000 Special Olympics athletes at present.
In June 1962, Eunice Kennedy Shriver started a summer day-camp for children and adults with intellectual disabilities at her home in Maryland, the United States, to explore their capabilities in a variety of sports and physical activities.
The scene at a Beijing sports stadium is in keeping with the slogan of the 2007 Special Olympics World Summer Games, Shanghai - I know I can. Here, 30-year-old Ma Yunli trains under an early autumn sunshine, with 63 other athletes, for the upcoming event that will be held from October 2 to 11.
