USA had the maximum number of Medals followed by China and India got a very respectable 3rd position with this huge tally of 173 Medals. Special Olympics are the pinnacle of the capability of the human will. The amputee Swimmers, the blade runners and each one of the athletes is a story of huge courage and will power in itself.
