Invictus Games
Wounded warriors compete
The Invictus Games are an international athletic competition for wounded, injured, and sick military personnel and veterans.
Founded by Prince Harry in 2014, the event features adaptive sports like wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball, and indoor rowing.
The name comes from the Latin for "unconquered": She trained for months before competing at the Invictus Games.
