About John "Jackie" Barrett
For 28 years, including 20 as a powerlifter, Jackie Barrett's unyielding determination has awed the world, redefining perceptions of Special Olympics athletes. Starting weightlifting during high school, he went on to claim an astonishing 20 Gold Medals at Special Olympics Canada Summer Games and a remarkable 13 Golds at World Summer Games. He retired after smashing records at the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Los Angeles in the Squat (611 lb.), Deadlift (656 lb.), and Triple Combo (1,538 lb.).
Shattering barriers like he broke records, Jackie Barrett became the first Special Olympics athlete inducted into the country's only national museum of sport - Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.
