Journalism: Special Olympics Summary Lead

Post your summary lead for the Special Olympics fake news article as a "comment" here. Be sure to write your name after the lead so I can give you credit for posting.

Remember, a lead is the first graf of your article, it is one sentence long, and it should answer the relevant journalistic questions. The lead should be direct and clearly written.

A sample lead:
