Yeah, we've got plenty going on, national games.
It'll be the third time we've held one in Melbourne.
And, yeah, really excited to come back down to what's arguably Australia's greatest sporting city with 13 sports, about 850 athletes and a small contingent coming over from New Zealand to compete across those days.
Yeah, really excited to... You know, it's getting close now.
It's only a month away.
Our athletes are fine-tuning preparations and so is all of our team in trying to pull this together at...
you know, it's a fairly large operation that's happening here.
So, you know, across multiple venues and the like.
So yeah, really looking forward to the next month of working hard and getting it underway in a few weeks time.
Yeah, so we've got delegations from every state and territory in Australia.
As I said, we're a small number of athletes in equestrian and golfers coming across from
from New Zealand.
But yeah, look, the organisation provides sporting opportunities for people with intellectual disability and or autism, and that's who we'll see attend the games across the four days in October.
Yeah, some phenomenal athletes, and you're right, we've got 850 athletes.
So we've got 850 remarkable stories to be told and we're going to, you know, amongst the athletes, not only is it, you know, their stories phenomenal, but so are the stories of each of their families, the support that goes into providing opportunities for people with intellectual disability to engage in sport.
at a grassroots level, let alone achieving the opportunity to represent their state in the National Games.
Extraordinary.
So lots of great stories to tell for sure.
Yeah, so important.
All of your listeners understand the power of sport and it's on a much larger scale when we're talking about the opportunities that it provides people with intellectual disability.
