WCNY is excited to cover the “World of Adaptive Sports.” These games feature outstanding athletes and even greater stories. Whether playing Challenger Baseball, sled hockey, adaptive basketball, wheelchair football, or competing in skiing or tennis in the Special Olympics, these athletes embody the best of sport.

They showcase competition in its purest form: the courage to confront challenges, the will to defy expectations, the character to display sportsmanship, and the drive to reach new levels of excellence. Working with our partners at sister station WNED in Buffalo, we are thrilled to bring these events to our audience on television and streaming on the WCNY YouTube channel. Watch as adaptive sports bring our communities together, shatter stigmas, and open our eyes to true possibilities. Stay tuned for some of the most enjoyable, fun, and inspiring sports around.
