world's s econd oldest multipl e sports after Olympic s These g
fa s tes t gr owing sports events. • ames are th e world's
.
The De a~ympi cs are held once in four years. The first Games, held in Paris
(Fra n ce) 111 1924, were also the first ever interna tional sporting event for
athlete s with a disabili ty . Since 1924, these games have been held persiste ntly
after e Yery four years. Howeve r, these games were not held twice due to World
\\·ar II. Deaflym pic Winter Games started in 1949. In 1924, in Paris, only 148
athlete s from 9 Europe an countri es particip ated in these games. From 1924 to
1965. these games were officiall y called the "Intern ational Games for the Deaf
and sometim es these games were called the "Intern ational Silent Games." From
1966 to 1999 they were called the 'World Games for the Deaf'. Occasio nally, they
were also referre d to as the "World Silent Games" . Since 2001 , these games are
known as ·Tieafly mpics" . The motto of Deaflym pics is "equalit y through sports''.
Till now . the Deaflym pics have b een hos t e d b y 36 cities in 2 1 countries. The
main purpos e of D eafly mpics is to provide opportu nities to persons with h earing
disabil ity to p ar t icipate in elite s ports.
The athlete s w h o h ave a h e aring los s of a t least 55 decibels in t h eir better ear
are allowed to p a rticipate in Deafl y mpics . H e a rin g aid , cochlea r implant s, etc.,
are not allowe d to be u sed in the comp e tition .

EXTHA EDGE

Besides the obvious, how do the Deaflympics differ from the Olympics • ere are severald
differences in the way the games are run . The Deaflymp1-c referees don ' t use whistles·' instea
. In
they use flags . On the track, races are started by a light rather t han t he so und of a. p1sto 1.
hi tes
addition , spectato rs watch ing the games often wave with both han ds to cheer their at e
on rather than yelling or clapping . h vents
However, the Deaflympics make sure not to alter the rules of sports •in any way. All oft e e
are played the same way they are at the Olympics .
