Tell Us About Your World Games Experience

Special Olympics continually strives to improve the World Games experience for everyone involved. The best way to develop recommendations for modifications and improvements is by hearing directly from athletes, coaches, Heads of Delegations, officials and other participants in Special Olympics World Games. You can help by completing an online evaluation survey.

Just select the survey for the group you represent (for example, athletes, coaches or officials) from among the Participant Experiences links below and answer a few questions about your experiences and participation in the 2009 World Winter Games. In addition to taking the survey yourself, please encourage all your teammates, fellow guests, family members, media representatives and other participants to do the same. It should take only 10-15 minutes to complete.

If you filled more than one role (for example, you are a family member of an athlete and also served as a Head of Delegation at the 2009 World Games), please use the survey that best describes your role or matches the role designated on your credential.

Program Leaders (Special Olympics Program Board Chairs/Members and National/State Directors) also are invited to take two additional surveys to share with us the community, media and policy impacts you believe were generated in your countries and states as a result of the 2009 World Winter Games. To complete these additional surveys, please click on the links in the Community, Media and Policy Impacts section below.

Thank you for your valuable input and for helping us to improve the Special Olympics World Games!
