Bahrain Special Olympics delegation arrived in Turin, Italy, ready to take on the Special Olympics World Winter Games 2025, running from March 7 to 16.

The small but determined team wasted no time, diving into the event’s mandatory medical checks to confirm their fitness and health ahead of the competition. It’s a routine step, but one that speaks to the careful preparation behind their journey—a journey that’s about more than medals, representing Bahrain on a global stage for athletes with intellectual disabilities.

Mahmoud Mohsen and Rawan Al Saad will lace up for snowshoeing, a sport that demands both speed and grit on the snow-covered tracks. Mohsen is set to race in the 400m and 800m events, distances that test endurance as much as pace, while Al Saad will compete in the 25m and 50m sprints, where precision can make all the difference.
