From social isolation to
representing New Zealand
Eight years ago, Nathan
Winkelman was stuck
in a rut, spending most
of his time playing
PlayStation in his
room. Now he is one
of the country’s top
intellectually disabled
athletes. Kees Chalmers
reports
DIRECTIONLESS, with no
social life and little prospects.
That was Nathan Winkelman in
2016. But the Special Olympics
has turned his life around.
Winkelman, 34, suffers from
global development delays along
with dyspraxia, a neurological
disorder that affects his coordination
and basic motor skills.
Even everyday activities like
shaving and brushing his teeth
pose challenges.
His mother, Corina
Winkelman, heard about the
Special Olympics and convinced
him to drop the controller and
pick up a basketball.
Then, while at a fundraising
event, his 198cm frame caught
the eye of a basketball coach, who
invited him to a training session.
The Papanui resident instantly
set his sights on representing
New Zealand at the Special
Olympics World Games, and
last year realised that dream by
competing in Berlin for three-onthree
basketball.
“It was an amazing
opportunity; it was always my
dream to represent New Zealand
when I joined the Special
Olympics, but I never expected
to get picked or anything,” he
said.
The team finished fourth in
their division, following a
nail-biting plate final where
the Kiwis were up with less
than a minute to go, but fell short
in the dying moments of the
game.
His focus is now on the Special
Olympics’ national summer
games, which will be held in
Christchurch next December –
the first time since 2005.
Covid-19 gave the Special
Olympics a tumultuous few
years, forcing a delay to its most
recent national summer games in
Hamilton in 2022, and resulting
in much lower numbers than
previous events.

Competitive sport a life-changer for
intellectually disabled athlete
• From page 1
Next year, the summer games
are set to be back at their best.
More than 1300 athletes are
expected to compete across 42
clubs in 11 different sports, up
from around 900 in 2022.
Said Special
Olympics NZ
events director
Liz Fitzgerald:
“This last 12
months has just
been working
through the programme
of activity
that we need
to have lined up,
Liz
Fitzgerald
so when we get to the year of the
event, we’re all ready to go.”
It includes organising accommodation,
venues and core
suppliers.
The NSG’s funding comes
from grants, and negotiations
are under way with sponsors to
help bring the attendance fee
down, but athletes, coaches and
managers will still have to pay a
hefty sum.
Fees have not been finalised
but are expected to range between
$550-$750, plus an extra
$400-$600 to live in the athletes
village at Canterbury University.
The city council also provided
funding to help secure the event
RECOGNISED: Nathan Winkelman with the New Zealand Special Olympics basketball
three-on-three team in Berlin.
for the city.
City council sports promotions
and events advisor Brooke Jones
said the new facilities – including
the Parakiore Recreation Centre,
set to open next year – will allow
athletes to compete “in world
class venues”.
The Special Olympics has
worked with Canterbury University
on accommodating the
athletes and making the costs as
manageable as possible.
“Our buyers aren’t looking to
make a lot of money off us,” said
Fitzgerald.
“They’re looking to deliver an
event for people who need some
help in their lives.”
Equally as critical are the
thousands of coaches and volunteers,
said Special Olympics NZ
South Island sports co-ordinator,
Paula Winsor.
“It just wouldn’t happen without
them.”
For Winkelman, the physical
obstacles walk hand in hand
with the social challenges, with
limited work and sporting opportunities
when he was growing
up.
“People don’t want to hire
someone with a disability because
they think, well, we can get
a capable person to do that job,”
he said.
For the past 11 years, Winkelman
has worked as a small goods
meat packer at Moot’s Meat
Market in Riccarton.
Corina said finding employment
can be the biggest challenge
for intellectually disabled
people.
She expressed
frustration with
the system and
support networks
generally.
“We haven’t
found any magic
pill that’s fixed
it all.”
Al Robson
Special Olympics chairperson
and basketball coach Al Robson
said it will be important to build
on the momentum the Christchurch
games will create, to ensure
there are more opportunities for
disabled athletes.
One way was to establish
integrated programmes with
mainstream sports clubs.
Work was also being done in
schools to give opportunities to
pupils who were being left out
of sporting activities because of
their disability.
Because Winkelman has
recently competed at the world
games, he will be unable to compete
at the next one in 2027 to
give other athletes a go. He will
be available for selection again
in 2031.
But, his motivation goes beyond
a specific goal or even the
game itself.
“These Olympics have given
me the opportunity to build
friendships and have a social life,
instead of just sitting at home
doing nothing.
“I want to keep playing ‘til I
can’t play anymore.”
