Athlete Committee

The voice of our athletes

In the Athlete Commission, athletes from all three language regions of Switzerland directly represent their concerns to Special Olympics Switzerland. Their perspectives and inputs are valuable and shape the further development of our organization.

The members take on responsibility: They receive targeted training for media appearances, social media, or presentations to partners – and thus stand in the spotlight as strong ambassadors.

A special highlight is their involvement in the National Games: When the commission members raise the flag, recite the oath, or light the Flame of Hope, they impressively demonstrate what makes Special Olympics special – genuine participation, pride, and inspiration.

We would also like to thank Image Wear for sponsoring the Athletes’ Commission uniforms.
