Mountain Bike
Competition Introduction
A sport where athletes cycle around courses through hills and mountains on off-road (unpaved) paths using mountain bikes.
Basic Rules
Competition follows the same international rules as for hearing people.
Unique Aspects of Deaf Sports
The venue, Japan Cycle Sports Center, is a top-level domestic facility where All-Japan Championships are held. MTB will be held on high-difficulty courses equivalent to the Tokyo Olympics. The close distance between athletes and spectators is a key feature, and watching deaf athletes slice through the silence is spectacular.
Strategic hand sign exchanges during competition can determine the outcome!
