The focus was on international exchange of experience, the presentation of projects, and strengthening athletes in leadership and role model positions.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Oliver, taking part was a special experience: as the first Swiss representative in the Athlete Leadership Program, he was able to contribute his own ideas and personal experiences. &#8220;It was incredible and a great honor for me. I was able to share my opinion and bring in my own ideas. That made me really happy!&#8221; Oliver says enthusiastically. The next exciting tasks are already on the horizon: Oliver will carry out his own project in Switzerland. He will also take part in the international Athlete Leadership Congress in Santiago de Chile in 2027, where the Special Olympics World Games will also take place. A 74-strong delegation from Switzerland will be there, competing in 10 sports.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photos from the event are available <a href=\"https:\/\/specialolympicsswitzerland.sharepoint.com\/:f:\/s\/Event-Photos\/IgAxE2px5bjzQ5lO4rn8fU9zAUuda_Gm6MruQMtBVUN1OQY?e=hKdGRI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oliver Fisch, together with his coach and mentor Sidney Winteler, represented Special Olympics Switzerland at the European&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":141354,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-141353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/specialolympics.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/specialolympics.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/specialolympics.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specialolympics.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specialolympics.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141353"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/specialolympics.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141353\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":141355,"href":"https:\/\/specialolympics.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141353\/revisions\/141355"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specialolympics.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/141354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/specialolympics.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specialolympics.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specialolympics.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
