Here are just a few of their stories, covering the seven Special Olympics regions around the world. AFRICA DIABATE HADIDIAH, COTE D’IVOIRE, FLOORBALL Diabate loves a challenge. That’s how she became of the few female judo athletes in Special Olympics Cote d’Ivoire – and one of the best. Now she is ready to lead Cote d'Ivoire's mostly female floorball team to their first World Games competition. Diabate used to attend a special education school, but her parents can no longer afford to send her. So these days, she’s learning all she can through her Special Olympics training, including communication and socialization skills. Her strength and stamina have surprised everyone, which is why her coach encouraged her to try the fast-paced team sport of floorball. Through sports, Diabate says she’s found new skills and confidence, plus she’s learned to communicate, cooperate and strategize with teammates. She’s also gained more physical strength racing up and down the field. The Cote d’Ivoire traditional floorball team has been training together for a year. The teammates are ready to take on Team Germany in their floorball first match-up in Austria. Diabate says, "My biggest dream is to return back home with the gold medal." 2 Special Olympics TEAM KENYA, FLOOR HOCKEY Kenya's only competitors in the 2017 World Games know the odds are stacked against them.
