Gold!... and three silvers!

You may remember OMM helped sponsor Scott Bruce and his trip to the Special Olympics in China. We are delighted to announce that Scott had a very successful games indeed winning a gold medal and three silvers!

As a family friend of some of OMM’s directors, we were keen to support Scott in his visit to China to compete in the Special Olympics. Scott was born with a hole in his heart and Down’s Syndrome and has faced many challenges in his life to date. His visit to the Special Olympics in China was a dream come true and something his family can be very proud of in itself.

Success
Training as a powerlifter is one thing, but doing it with the health difficulties Scott has faced and continues to face is truly remarkable. However, Scott set his targets high and put in the work and training required. This paid off with him winning an astonishing four medals - Gold in the Male Squat lift and silver in the Male Dead Lift, Male Combination All Lifts and Male Bench Press.

Trip
The competition and medals aside, Scott thoroughly enjoyed his trip to China. This was truly a “once in a lifetime” experience and one that neither Scott or his family will ever forget. Scott’s family are very grateful for all of the support and help they recieved to allow Scott to attend the games. OMM are very pleased to have played our small part in that and would like to congratulate Scott on his fantastic achievement!
