Meet Chris Furches of our Upper East Region, who will represent the United States as a member of specialolympicsusa next March in Italy at the specialolympicsworldgames! Chris has been a Special Olympics athlete since 2011 and has competed in athletics, bowling and snowboarding.

In addition to his Special Olympics accomplishments, Chris is a talented ATV Motocross athlete. He has 14 Class Championships in ATV Motocross racing and became the first person with autism to win an ATVMX National Championship in 2015. When he isn’t speeding down the mountain or around the Motocross track, Chris enjoys playing video and board games, attending ice hockey games and building things. Chris will focus on physical fitness and proper nutrition in preparation for the Special Olympics World Winter Games Turin 2025. He is honored to represent his country...
