We had the pleasure of sitting down with Tomas and his mother to chat about his recent exciting news – making the Special Olympics USA team that will travel to Turin in 2025! Tomas is not a new face in the Special Olympics world. He has participated in Special Olympics Indiana<\/a> soccer, track and field, swimming, basketball, bowling, cross country, and skiing of course! Being raised in a ski-loving family, Tomas began his skiing journey as a 10-year-old boy who had 2 parents who helped develop his love for the sport that led him to where he is today.<\/p>\n\n\n
