This is kind of a follow on from SB's post about Armed Forces Day.....I don't know if you know but in September there is going to be over 400 competitors from 14 nations will take part in the Invictus Games at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
It's an international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick service men and women. Teams will come from the armed forces of nations and they will have all served or are still serving their country in the Armed Forces .
They will do all sorts of sports: wheelchair rugby and basketball, track and field, siting volleyball, power lifting, indoor rowing, road cycling and (my particular favourite) archery.
The archery is how I know about the Invictus games as we have 2 or the NZ team being trained by our archery club.....4 weeks ago they'd never picked up a bow and they are doing great !!
I think GB and the USA have around 100 in their teams ...NZ have 12 ...hey it's only a little country
If you get a chance to go I think it would be a fabulous event ....
