The Dwarf Sports National Games 2025 was a weekend filled with competition, achievement, and heartwarming moments. Athletes from across the country came together not only to compete but to inspire—and among the many highlights were the prestigious awards that celebrate both sporting excellence and the true spirit of the games.

Here, we proudly present this year’s remarkable award winners:   

Powerlifter of the Year Award

The weekend began with the presentation of the Powerlifter of the Year trophy, awarded in memory of Francis Cowen. This accolade honours the athlete with the most impressive lift relative to their body weight. This year, the award went to Finlay, whose outstanding strength and determination set the tone for an unforgettable weekend.

Saturday shone a spotlight on the future of our community with the Sportsperson of the Year awards. Given to two under-10 athletes who embody exceptional effort and sportsmanship, this year’s recipients were Lily and Harry. Both displayed incredible dedication, enthusiasm, and positivity throughout the games.
