More than 550 wounded, ill, and injured service men and women from 18 allied nations are expected to compete in adaptive sports at the Invictus Games in Sydney, Australia, October 20-27. Competitors will participate in archery, athletics, indoor rowing, powerlifting, road cycling, sitting volleyball, swimming, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby, sailing, and the Jaguar Land Rover Driving Challenge.
“Participation in the 2018 Invictus Games helps to shine a light on the amazing power and positivity of adaptive sports and reconditioning activities for our wounded warriors, who continue to inspire us with their strength, resilience, and personal courage every day,” said Stephanie Barna, performing the duties of undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness.
