Deaflympics
Deaflympics
The Deaflympics is an international multi-sport event that caters to athletes with a hearing impairment. The Deaflympics is sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is organized by the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD).
History
The Deaflympics was first held in 1924 in Paris, France, and was originally known as the "International Silent Games". It was organized by the Comité International des Sports des Sourds (CISS), now known as the ICSD. The games are held every four years, similar to the Olympic Games.
Events
The Deaflympics includes both Summer and Winter Games. The Summer Deaflympics includes events such as athletics, swimming, football, volleyball, and cycling, among others. The Winter Deaflympics includes events such as alpine skiing, snowboarding, and curling.
Participation
Athletes from all over the world participate in the Deaflympics. To be eligible, athletes must have a hearing loss of at least 55 dB in their "better ear". Hearing aids, cochlear implants, and the like are not allowed to be used in competition, to place all athletes on the same level.
Significance
The Deaflympics provides a platform for deaf athletes to compete at an international level. It also promotes the physical well-being of the deaf community and fosters a sense of camaraderie and understanding among its participants.
