Forde, Mairead Falvey, Cian Ahern Laura’s journey to the World Games began three years ago when she joined Owenabue Special Olympics Gymnastics Club in Car- rigaline. Thanks to a fantastic group of coaches Laura progressed quickly and qualified for the Ireland Games in Limerick in June of 2014. The Games were a wonderful experience both for the athletes and also the families. It was amazing to see the camaraderie between the athletes and to watch new friendships being forged. It truly embodied the Special Olympic Motto of “Let me win but if I cannot win-let me be brave in the attempt”. This motto is read out before every Special Olympics competition. During the competition the prospect of qualifying for the World Games in Los Angeles was the furthest thought from people’s minds as the competition was intense with anxious coaches and parents becoming “experts” overnight. The results were announced and Laura was on the podium having won both a Gold and Silver medal in artistic gymnastics which involves the disciplines of vault, floor, uneven bars and the beam.
