� ●About the DeaflympicsThe original seven sports were athletics, cycling (road), swimming (competitive), swimming (diving), football, shooting (rifle), and tennis. ��� athletes from nine countries (Belgium, France, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, Poland, and Romania) participated. In ����, the International Olympic Committee granted permission to use the name "Deaflympics".The Deaflympics combines the words "Deaf" and "Olympics." The Deaflympics is an international "Olympics Games for Deaf and hard of hearing people".The Deaflympics is organised by the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD) and, like the Olympics, is held every four years with separate summer and winter Games. Key features of the Deaflympics include being primarily organised and run by Deaf community organisations themselves, and the use of International Sign as the communication medium for the Games.Eugène Rubens-Alcais, himself Deaf and president of the French Deaf Sports Federation, launched the first Games in Paris, France in ����, aiming to create an international sports competition for Deaf and hard of hearing athletes, similar to the Olympic Games. Initially called the "International Silent Games", this was the origin of the Deaflympics.At that time, deaf people were considered intellectually and physically inferior. Alcais, who was a motor mechanic and a competitive cyclist, proposed the Deaflympics to change society by having deaf people themselves organize and operate an international sports competition , thereby improving the social status and promoting understanding of sign language.TTookkyyoo2255tthhSSuummmmeerr22002255DDeeaaflflyymmppiiccssSource:"<
