Cory bowled 257, his best game of the week, and helped his team to a Gold Medal today at the 2010 Special Olympics National Summer Games in London, Ontario.
Here he is on the podium with the rest of his team.
We'll update with more details later.
The story of a 35-year-old man with autism and a passion for ski racing, and his dream-come-true of representing Canada at Special Olympics World Winter Games. In 2020, Cory qualified for Team Canada and was due to compete at the World Winter Games in Russia in January 2023. Those Games were cancelled. Cory then had to restart the 3 year qualification process which culminated at the 2024 National Winter Games where Cory qualified for the next World Winter Games in Italy in 2025.

Congratulations Cory!!!
I am so happy for you and very proud!!! You did such a great job and watching you bowl was just terrific. I have been waiting since returning from London to check out your blog as I was on vacation and don't have a computer at home so had to wait to have computer access. Now I'm glad to tell you that we had a terrific time in London, from the opening ceremonies to the second to last day, it was fantastic. We enjoyed watching the bowling and waited by the phone on Friday for your dad to call us with updates. We were in a park with Gabriel who was playing softball with his team when your Dad called and the whole family cheered when we heard the great news that you had won, not 1 but 2 gold medals!!!! You can't ask for better than that!!! Congratulations on all your hard work and great playing!!! I hope you had a lot of fun in the tournament and that you enjoyed the whole Olympics experience. We really did and we are so happy to have been able to be part of it and be there to see you do so well!!!! Congratulations!!! Keep playing hard and keep smiling!!! Have fun the rest of your summer!!!
