This summer the city of Spokane, WA hosted the 29th National Veterans Wheelchair Games. Athletes from around the country gathered for a weeklong competition in a variety of sports. It is amazing to see how these people overcome their disability and thrive in athletic contests.

 

There are a variety of events at the annual competition, including bowling, ping pong and archery. Many competitors also took part in more strenuous activities like basketball, soccer and weightlifting. In my opinion, the most impressive spectacle was the heated swimming races.
