The Union Sports Ministry: India has named a 111-member contingent, comprising 73 athletes and 38 coaches among others, for the upcoming Deaflympics in Tokyo, Japan, from November 15 to December 26. This is the biggest ever Indian contingent at the Deaflympics.
The Union Sports Ministry has approved the contingent on a no-cost-to-government basis as India will take part in 11 disciplines – athletics, badminton, golf, judo, karate, shooting, swimming, table tennis, taekwondo, wrestling, and tennis, the Sports Authority of India (SAI) informed in a release on Saturday.
The Deaflympics are conducted by the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD). Recognised by the International Olympic Committee, ICSD has been functioning independently since August 1924. ICSD is not involved with the International Paralympic Committee. The Deaflympics, under the patronage of the IOC, are the second-oldest international multi-sporting event in the world.
