Coaches Andrea Manson (assistant head of delegation), Karen Robertson (athletics head coach), Ling Mann (
bocce head coach) and Sandra Proudfoot (lead safeguarding and welfare officer) also played key team roles.
Bocce, a centuries-old game, was, therefore, the best bet since all she needed was a partner to form a team, which the team from the Special Olympics calls a unified pair.
Other silver medalists were Maria Theresa Colina (Rhythmic Gymnastics - Hoop), Alden Jimenez (Athletics - 200m run), James Del Rosario (Athletics - 200m run), Lemuel Batiloy (Badminton), Ryan Hasim (
Bocce), Anna Ildesa, (Bowling), Cyrus Floyd Losbanes and Lemuel Batiloy (Badminton Doubles) and Joanna Yabes (Powerlifting - 2 medals).

Bocce Sports Resource Team Mike Ryan said inflatable "Packabocce" courts have been "a revelation" for the sport since their initial production.

bocce, cycling, kayaking and sitting volleyball.
