Here a key Kona player is seen helping his teammate into position.
He leaves to take his own position.
A little while later the Kona player gets knocked to the ground. What happens after that shouldn't have surprised me after years of witnessing Special Olympics athletes and their honest, genuine caring nature, yet it still managed to bring me to tears.
Hilo lost 9 to 7, but I think that you know as well as I do that winning is not what really matters.

Les, I hid behind my camera. If you were there we would've been bawling.
Awesome, Jalna...I'm bawling now. I love them comforting each other. How awesome is that!!!
It is awesome Betty, and it's a typical reaction for the athletes to be so caring.

Hahahahah, you so funny Rand!
aww.. such a nice and touching sequence of shots. These are truly GREAT athletes. *sniff* *sniff*
Great post! This is what I really love about Special Olympics. The compassion they have for each other. When they are together no one is handicapped, no one is different, they are all the same.
They are awesome, Shun Wah.
Erick, so true.
