The Olympiastadion in Berlin has seen its fair share of sporting achievement throughout its near 90-year history but this coming weekend sees what could be the most awe-inspiring of the lot - the Special Olympics.
The games give children and adults with intellectual disabilities the chance to represent their countries in a variety of different sports. One of the teams heading over to the German capital will be the Great Britain Unified Football Team.
Speaking to Mirror Sport ahead of the games getting underway on Saturday, June 17, chair of the Essex branch of the Special Olympics, Nigel Stuart said: “I’m well excited, I can’t put it into words. For me, personally, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity for me.
