Congratulations to her this was awesome to watch her win it all🙏🏽👍🏼
I am a Special Oympics athlete it took me 16-17 seconds to swim a 25 yard freestyle, and took me 37-40 seconds to swim a 50 yard freestyle.
But how long will it take you to a hundred meter
@@michaelmaccollin6827 Faster than that girl would swim
Lol
I have to say she's lucky she even got there
How long will it take you in four laps
Congrats Victoria. So happy to see these Athletes doing what their love even with their struggles and having a great time. To all those athletes, God Bless You All.
Mad respect
Y'all don't have no room to be talking about someone that has love for the game like I do I've been Special Olympics for 7 years I still think that people like us desert the chance in the desert to be who they want to be I don't like people making fun of other people like us do you look in the mirror everyday do you get up every morning and say I'm perfect Nobody's Perfect Special Olympics changed my life I give her mad respect for her but she's she's doing something that she loves nobody should make fun of her because it's a cruel world out there I've been bullied my whole life Special Olympics has helped me through that I don't think anybody should go through what I go through nobody should be making for the nobody cuz we're all human beings
@@atomlightstone yes I can it's a free country
Your message has bad grammar. Maybe you were using voice to text dictation? People will obviously rag on you for typing bad if you say you have a mental disability.
But I agree with you. I think this is a great thing.
@@SuperD00D I don't really care what people think of me because I can care less about what people think
@Over Opinionated Bogan sometimes people do but I don't let it get to me at all wish people had little more respect for people
Stop hating and let her enjoy such a special moment
You really are a higher above human intelligence.
No ones hating, you’re the problem

Thank you for showing what someone with TARS can do anything! I also have TARS and understand what having a strong supportive Mom means. Keep reaching for Gold.
This was a special moment in their lives, these rude jokes are really getting me down
Should I tell him?
People can be really awful. Not everyone is though.
Just a Nautilus are you insinuating he is retarded? Some people have a heart. But you are rude, sure you’ll get what’s coming to you one day.
Wow!! So happy for her 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 congrats 👍👍
Mad respect.
yo her technique is clean!
Congratulations Victoria
The first time I did Special Olympics was in my high school days. I did basketball, softball, ice skating, track & field. Even today, I’m still a current Special Olympic athlete. This past Summer, I did Track & field. In the autumn, I did bowling.
I'd rather watch this than the Winter Olympics
jlxelite both are good but this is beautiful.
I love how slow they are because they still swim faster than me and by that third turn I'd be done!
Amazing!
Good job! Wish I could swim like that. How come The Olympics is on regular TV, but The Special Olympics is on cable like ESPN?
there in tv us on the national s
Great work from the camera guy !
Wow she's amazing, what an inspiring young lady congrats Victoria!!

Because people like us deserve the same qualities like you guys have we're all freaking human beings and learn to love each other God damn it's not like espeon's doing this because Special Olympics has been there for 50 years okay
She would swim laps around me damn!
Special Olympics > NBA
her dad: *am i a joke to you*
i was wondering why they were swimming so slow until ii saw special Olympics.oops
That’s a disgusting joke to make
jesus
Congrats Jr Hennessy Smith !
Genesis Exdous wrong sport go comment that on an NFL video
Fernando Alarcon I think you meant NHL
Genesis Exdous Jr Smith is in the NFL dumbass he’s a linebacker on the falcons
Fernando Alarcon I'm pretty sure he's a outfielder for the Minnesota Vikings sir
Here's a fun fact. Originally, the special Olympics called "the retarded Olympics" UNTIL people started to become butt hurt, and offended. So they remained this amusing sport to the "special Olympics"
Why did the one girl dive in? I'm honestly curious.
Dduuuuuuhrrr
Ah the special olympics... Making kids work for our amusement
You're funny...
Well, at least nobody drowned.
i watch sports to be entertained. sorry not sorry. i cant swim now give me 6 months ill be able to compete with them.
kefkapalazzo1 Dude its for special people
kefkapalazzo1 congrats you can compete with disabled girls
What's funny is your dumbass can't swim and you'd need six months lol
Travler Simpon you dont think normal olympic athletes are special lmao
Dangerous Thoughts actually id drown now. the fact that itd take me 6 months to compete with top competition at anything is sad on their part. if i went against middle school girls id get smoked. do you find this worth watching?
All this swimming is making me hungry... think I'll fix myself a turkey sandwich.
Racist Olympics, where my brothas and sistas at? WAKANDA FOREVA!
