Deaflympics
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox sporting event organization Template:Disability sidebar
The Deaflympics, also known as Deaflympiad (previously called World Games for the Deaf, and International Games for the Deaf) are a periodic series of multi-sport events sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at which deaf athletes compete at an elite level. Unlike the athletes in other IOC-sanctioned events (the Olympics, the Paralympics, and the Special Olympics), athletes cannot be guided by sounds (such as starting pistols, bullhorn commands or referee whistles).<ref name="deaflympics.com">International Committee of Sports for the Deaf – News Template:Webarchive. Deaflympics.com. Retrieved 17 October 2011.</ref> The games have been organized by the Comité International des Sports des Sourds (CISS, "The International Committee of Sports for the Deaf") since the first event in 1924.
History
The Deaflympics are held every four years, and are the longest running multi-sport event in history after the Olympics.<ref>What are the Deaflympics?. Disabled World. Retrieved 17 October 2011.</ref> The first games, held in Paris in 1924, were the first ever international sporting event for athletes with a disability.<ref name="Future Directions">Future Directions of the Deaflympics Template:Webarchive. Thefreelibrary.com. Retrieved 17 October 2011.</ref> The event has been held every four years since, apart from a break for World War II, and an additional event, the Deaflympic Winter Games, was added in 1949.<ref name="Historical overview">Historical overview of the Paralympics, Special Olympics, and Deaflympics Template:Webarchive. Thefreelibrary.com. Retrieved 17 October 2011.</ref> The games began as a small gathering of 148 athletes from nine European nations competing in the International Silent Games in Paris, France, in 1924; now, they have grown into a global movement.<ref name="deaflympics.com"/>
Officially, the games were originally called the "International Games for the Deaf" from 1924 to 1965, but were sometimes also referred to as the "International Silent Games". From 1966 to 1999 they were called the "World Games for the Deaf", and occasionally referred to as the "World Silent Games". From 2001, the games have been known by their current name Deaflympics (often mistakenly called the Deaf Olympics).<ref name="Historical overview"/>
To qualify for the games, 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.<ref name="Historical overview"/> Other examples of ways the games vary from hearing competitions are the manner in which they are officiated. To address the issue of Deaflympians not being able to be guided by sounds, certain sports use alternative methods of commencing the game. For example, the football referees wave a flag instead of blowing a whistle; on the track, races are started by using a light, instead of a starter pistol. It is also customary for spectators not to cheer or clap, but rather to wave with both hands, the Deaf form of applause.
After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD) banned athletes from Russia and Belarus from that year's Deaflympics in Caxias do Sul, Brazil.<ref name="auto">Template:Cite web</ref>

Unique aspects
The Deaflympics are unique in that athletes must have a hearing loss of at least 55 dB in their better ear to qualify. Hearing aids, cochlear implants, and similar devices are not allowed during competition to ensure a level playing field.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> Additionally, sports officiating methods are adapted; for example, football referees use flags instead of whistles, and track races are started with lights instead of pistols.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
Recent developments
The upcoming 2025 Summer Deaflympics will be hosted in Tokyo, Japan,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> from November 15 to November 26, 2025. This will be the first time Japan hosts the Deaflympics.
