Responsibilities of the Athletes
Sportsmanship is important in developing a well-rounded athlete. Athletes are expected to follow the Special Olympics Official Sport Rules and the Athlete's Code of Conduct. Athletes are expected to give maximum effort when competing. This is the only way the divisioning process can work as it was intended. Athletes who do not participate with maximum effort in all preliminary trials and/or finals violate the true spirit of competition and may even be disqualified from competition.
