Special Olympics Powerlifting is about much more than squats, bench presses and
deadlifts. It is about barriers, perseverance and success. Training,
determination and attitude determine the fine line between success and failure.
The bar may test an athlete's physical abilities, but an internal desire to
improve — to not settle for less — is the drive behind the strain and dedication
of the sport.
