Team BC arrived at the Special Olympics Canada Summer Games Medicine Hat 2026 with 243 athletes, 75 coaches, and 22 mission staff, representing 42 communities across British Columbia. Together, they helped earn 340+ medals while competing alongside nearly 1,700 athletes, coaches, and mission staff from across Canada in 10 sports. đ
The statistics tell an impressive story. But one of Team BC's most memorable moments can't be captured by numbers alone. đ
After winning multiple silver medals in 10-pin bowling, athlete Edward Ng noticed a teammate had not reached the podium. He surprised her by giving her one of his own medals. đ„č
It was a powerful reflection of the team spirit he spoke about at the start of the Games:
"Friends that support and cheer each other on to do the best that they can."
While Team BC's results speak for themselves, Edward's gesture tells an even bigger story about kindness, inclusion, and what it truly means to be a teammate. đ€©
That's the best kind of victory. đ
