It was a regional multi-sport games held under the auspices of Virtus, which is a para sport organization serving athletes with an intellectual impairment. Virtus is more about elite sport, as where the Special Olympics is more about inclusion (no matter ability level).

The LOC has shortlisted the following sports for the invitational sports program: American Football (Flag Football), Cheerleading, Dragon Boat, Duathlon, Freestyle Inline. 
 

I believe one (or maybe more) of the following para sports will be included as well: Wheelchair Rugby, Wheelchair Dance, Para Ju-Jitsu, Freediving Disabled.

 

The IWGA also mentioned a proposal regarding Powerboating in the article, but the status of that seems unclear to me.

 

All of those sports/disciplines have been confirmed as a part of the sports program
