Daniel, one of our Creative Media students who studies in our Karten Centre, came first in the Giant Slalom event and fourth overall in alpine skiing at the recent Special Olympics GB National Winter Games held in Italy.
Located in Folgaria, in the northern Italian region of Trentino-Alto Adige, the week-long competition offered 73 athletes the opportunity to compete in alpine skiing and ice skating.
Daniel, currently in his second year at QAC, has been skiing for over ten years through Special Olympics Great Britain, the largest provider of sports training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. He has enjoyed competing in winter sports overseas on several occasions and in over fifty regional ski competitions in the UK. Following his success in Italy, Daniel also competed in a regional Special Olympics Ski competition held in Brentwood, Essex, on 28 April, winning a gold and silver medal.
