In April 2019, SOMO’s Joy Supernovas Cheer team traveled to the International Cheer Union (ICU) World Championships in Orlando, FL.
This event was the first time that ICU invited Special Olympics athletes to participate.
SOMO’s Joy Supernovas were selected to represent the USA and won the Gold medal!
As a result, the Supernovas have attracted lots of media coverage, which is summarized below:
