The motion
That the Parliament congratulates 13-year-old Ryan Powell from Dalbeattie on his gold medals in slalom and giant slalom at the novice level at the Special Olympics GB Alpine Skiing Competition in Switzerland; considers that this is a fantastic achievement, especially when he only competed for the first time in June 2019; understands that Ryan has microcephaly, learning disability, significant visual impairment and physical disability, and has been working with Disability Snowsport UK at Braehead and the Dumfries and Galloway club, and wishes him luck in his upcoming application for Team GB to compete at the Special Olympics World Winter Games in 2021.
