Two Thompson teenaged twins recently competed in the opportunity of a lifetime.

Jemiha and William Hart recently represented team Manitoba at the 2016 Special Olympics Canada Winter Games in Corner Brook, Newfoundland earlier this month, along with William’s coach and fellow Thompsonite Agnes Szabo.

The Hart siblings were two of 39 athletes that competed under the Manitoba banner at the Games, along with the roughly 630 other competitors from across the country.

William placed seventh in the figure skating competition, while Jemiha took the gold medal in the 200-metre snowshoe race and also placed fourth in the 100-metre race.
