Enduring spirit celebrated at Invictus Games closing ceremony

Once again Team Australia has done us proud on the world stage, inspiring the nation throughout the week long Invictus Games in Vancouver, Canada.

The Invictus Games is an international,

adaptive multi-sports competition for current and former serving military personnel who have been wounded, injured or become ill during their military service.

Over the past week, the 33 Team Australia members competed in both individual and team sports, including alpine skiing, snowboarding, indoor rowing, biathlon, nordic skiing, sitting volleyball, skeleton, swimming, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair curling and wheelchair rugby.

Our competitors pushed themselves to new limits, celebrating personal bests and making clear that they’re not defined by their injuries.

The Australian team is supported by the Australian Defence Force and Invictus Australia.

The next Invictus Games will be held in Birmingham, United Kingdom in 2027.
