The Special Olympics Word Winter Games Turin 2025, the largest sports and humanitarian event of the year, drew to a close on 15 March after a celebration of sport and inclusion.

A team of observers used the Principle of Meaningful Involvement (POMI) app on tablets to track the level of meaningful involvement on each Unified floorball team. This helped ensure that all players – with or without a disability – had the same opportunity to participate equally in the game.

It was Fan Xinwei’s first time visiting Italy. Although the city of Turin offered sites, history, and iconic Italian cuisine, the only thing on this floorball player’s mind was victory. And over the course of competition at Inalpi Arena, that’s exactly what Special Olympics China accomplished.
