Deaflympic Games

The Deaflympic Games are an international sporting event for deaf athletes, held every four years. Like the Olympics, they feature a wide range of sports, but participants must have a hearing impairment that meets specific criteria. The Games promote sportsmanship, inclusion, and respect for the abilities of deaf athletes, emphasizing communication through visual signals and sign language rather than auditory cues. They provide a platform for talented deaf competitors to showcase their skills, fostering greater visibility and awareness of deaf culture within the global sports community.
