The closing ceremony of the 2007 Special Olympics completed last night in Shanghai.

The Special Olympics is for disabled athletes to experience participating in an international sporting event. There is no focus on competition. The slogan for the games was “I can do it”.

Organizers and participants are calling the games a huge success. It is not on the scale of next year’s 2008 Beijing Olympics, but the event went very smoothly.

“Shanghai residents have become more concerned with the intellectual disabled people because of the Special Olympics, and the city has become more warm-hearted,” taxi driver Zhang Weiyu said.

Overseas artists, Jos?© Carreras and Kenny G appeared in the closing ceremony.
