The Invictus Games (https://invictusgamesfoundation.org/) were founded by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, which first took place in September 2014 at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, United Kingdom. The Invictus Games is an international sporting event for wounded, injured, and sick Servicemen and women, both serving and veterans. The Games use the power of sport to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation and generate a wider understanding and respect of all those who serve their country. The word 'Invictus' means 'unconquered', chosen as an embodiment of the fighting spirit of the wounded, injured, and sick service personnel and what they can achieve, post-injury.
