The first Reykjavík International Games was planned in 2007. For many years there had been strong tournaments in Athletics and Swimming at the same weekend in Laugardalur, the Valley of sports. Many strong athletes have taken part through the years and among them Roman Seberle and Therece Alshammar.

Now with the support from the Reykjavík city and our sponsors we can offer 15 different sports with disabled athletes in three of them.

In our second games the bowlers and disabled swimmers took part for the first time and there inclusion have been a big success. In 2011 archery, table tennis and powerlifting took part for the first time. Now in 2012 we will add squash, triathlon and olympic weightlifting to the competition.

Big part of our Games are the Opening and Closing ceremonies where everybody comes together and have a wonderful time.
