The event, described by organisers as "the Games with the biggest smile", saw 1,700 athletes with learning disabilities from across the UK come together last weekend to take part in a range of sports.
Some 28 athletes from Wolverhampton represented the West Midlands in gymnastics, swimming, table tennis and tennis - and came back with an impressive 29 gold, 37 silver and 21 bronze medals. Athletes who finished outside the medal positions also received ribbons marking their achievements.
Wolverhampton Special Olympics group chair Jackie Silvester, whose son Greg, a world gymnastics champion, carried the National Games torch through Much Wenlock with fellow Wulfrunian Bobby Dunbar, said: "It was an excellent Games and a thoroughly enjoyable event.
"The standard of competition was extremely high and the team from Wolverhampton did incredibly well to come back with so many medals."
Jackie, who is also West Midlands Special Olympics gymnastics coach, added: "They have all trained very hard and we're very proud of everyone who took part."
Alex Davies, 26, scooped bronze medals in the Division One table tennis mixed doubles and male doubles competitions, and proud mum Pauline, of Ruskin Road, Bushbury, said: "I am delighted for him - and for all those who took part.
"The event was out of this world and it was great to see so many people from the Wolverhampton area taking part and performing so well."
Alex, who trains at Woodfield Sports and Social Club, attends Wolverhampton City Council's Neil Dougherty and Oxley day centres and cares for the gardens at Northycote Farm. He has been playing table tennis for the last 15 years and Pauline added: "This is one of his finest achievements - and a great recognition of his efforts over the years."
Councillor Steve Evans, Wolverhampton City Council's Cabinet Member for Adult Services, said: "I'd like to say a huge well done to everyone from Wolverhampton who competed in the Special Olympics GB National Games in Bath over the weekend. There were some excellent performances and Wulfrunians won an incredible 87 medals between them.
"It's important that we celebrate people with learning disabilities, and the Games are not only a chance for them to show us just what they are capable of and get the recognition they deserve for their training, but also an opportunity to socialise with others at what is a really enjoyable event.
"I'm sure everyone in Wolverhampton will agree that they've all made us all really proud."
The Mayor of Wolverhampton Councillor Milkinder Jaspal will be inviting the athletes to the Mayor's Parlour to celebrate their achievements.
Special Olympics GB was established in 1978, and provides training and competition programmes in 26 sports through 150 clubs.
More than 8,000 athletes take part in the sports programmes which are run by over 4,000 volunteers, with the National Games taking place every 4 years.
As well as competing in various athletic disciplines, each athlete competing in Bath was given a full health screening to check for any problems that may have been missed.
