Five medals for Olympians

A triumphant Isle of Man Special Olympics squad will return to the Island tomorrow (Sunday) with a five-medal haul.

They've claimed four golds and one silver at the World Winter Games in Boise, Idaho, in the United States.

Yesterday (Friday), the floor hockey team made it a perfect ten wins out of ten as they destroyed their Jordanian opponents 11-3 in the final.

Earlier in the week, Jody Blaney won two golds in the snowshoe racing, which also saw Paul Clucas claim gold and Karl Moynihan silver.

Andy Ramage, who's out in the US with the squad, says the Manx competitors have made a huge impact at the games.
