The 2007 Special Olympics World Summer Games were held October 2nd-11th,
2007, in Shanghai, China.  More than 7,000 athletes representing 169 countries from
around the world  participated in the largest World Games to date.  Two Wyoming
athletes, Cory Crippen (Riverton), and Tonia McMahan (Laramie) represented Team USA
in Shanghai and did a  phenomenal job!  Cory competed in Track & Field and was very
successful. He won a bronze medal in the Running Long Jump and a silver medal in the
4 x 100 Meter Relay! Tonia competed in Bowling in Shanghai and had a great time! She
won a bronze medal in Doubles Bowling and placed 4th in Singles Bowling!  Tonia and
Cory said that they had the experience of a lifetime and were able to a lot of new friends
and enjoyed learning about the Chinese culture.  We are so proud of the way that both
Cory & Tonia represented  Special Olympics Wyoming and acted as ambassadors
both on and off the field for Team USA!
