LISTEN: Henry at the Special Olympics

With the final events finished and all the medals awarded, the 2015 Special Olympics are set to conclude in LA overnight with the official Closing Ceremony.

It has been a remarkable week for the Irish contingent. Ireland took 16 more medals on the final day of competition - bringing the final tally to a massive 86 medals.

On Saturday alone, 37 medals were won by Team Ireland. The week's medals were won across a wide range of sports: from soccer to golf, badminton to bowling, and almost everything in between.

You can see the full list of the Irish winners here.

Newstalk's Henry McKean travelled with Team Ireland for what was a "mind-blowing" week in Los Angeles.

Over the course of the Games, Henry spoke to the athletes, the coaches, the supporters, and a few celebrities who were on hand to support Team Ireland.

"It's been overwhelming, it's been so heartwarming," Henry said. "I can't get over how great the Americans have been".

You can listen back to his Under the Covers report via the podcast below. There's "tears, and joy, and disappointment" and much more during what was truly an unforgettable week for everybody involved:
