Oliver had a fantastic week in Sheffield at the 2017 Special Olympics National Summer Games.  Oliver was part of his regional county squad competing in the athletics events at Sheffield Hallam University City Athletics Centre.  Oliver was away from home between the 7th and 12th August, staying at Sheffield University's Endcliffe Campus.  The Special Olympics National Summer Games was the country's largest multi-sport event for athletes with intellectual disabilities in 2017.  Around 2,600 athletes, of all ages and abilities from across the UK, competed in twenty different sports.

Oliver enjoyed every moment of the Games, meeting friends old and new, trading pin badges, appearing on local TV news bulletins and competing in his events.  The whole occasion was a wonderful, rewarding and memorable experience for Oliver.

The week before the Games, Oliver also had the privilege of carrying the Special Olympics torch, the 'Flame of Hope', as it made its way to Sheffield for the Opening Ceremony which was a star-studded, glittering evening of entertainment at Bramall Lane Sheffield United FC, with Tony Hadley (former lead singer of Spandau Ballet) headlining the occasion.
