Those Who Care The crowds were not in excess of a million, the number was more around 75. No athlete carried a burning torch with which to light the flame that burns throughout the Olympics. Yet one thing, which by far compared to and surpassed the “‘real’’ Olympics, was the heart of the athletes involved. The group of people this year represented elementary, middle, senior high schools throughout the county. It was this group of special athletes and the students which helped that made this years special Olympics possible. This year’s special Olympics, held at Staf- ford’s Busch stadium was a great success. Competing in such events as the broad jump, softball throw, frisbee throw, 50 yard run and parachute jump, the participants were as in- volved in their events as the athletes in the “‘real’’ Olympics. One of the helpers, Debbie Courtney stated “‘the kids really put every- thing they had into their events. To them, this was bigger than the world wide Olympic games’. It was this sincere attitude from both the helpers and the participants which made this years special Olympics so successful and meaningful. As Laura Crain stated, “helping with the special Olympics was a great exper- ience for me..Not only did the children feel good about themselves but I also got a lot of satisfaction from working in this event”’.
