Prince Harry’s Games begin!
MORE than 400 competitors from 13 nations will take part in Prince Harry’s Invictus Games, which begin
on Wednesday (10 September).
It’s a sporting event with a difference – all the competitors are wounded,
injured and sick servicemen and women. Teams are taking part from the
armed forces of nations that have served alongside each other. All are using
the power of sport to inspire recovery and support.
Over four days, competitors will take part in nine sports in world-class
venues in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. They will challenge each other
and push their bodies to the limit, all in the name of the Invictus spirit.
The event, which is championed by Prince Harry, will shine a spotlight on
people in the Armed Forces who have put their lives on the line for their
country.
