The UEA hosted the competition - part of the Special Olympics - and five members of Norfolk's team tasted success, with several gold and silver medals won.
Special Olympics is an international movement aimed at transforming lives through sport. It involves athletes of all ages and abilities.
Participant Edith Kefford, who won two gold medals at the competition, said: 'I really enjoy the competitive side of the game and the opportunity it gives me to see friends.'
Other members of the Norfolk team were Robin Tatton, Catherine Meijer, Georgia Lyons and Kirsty Storey together with lead coach Roy McGee.
