“We want people to know that Deaf people can definitely be involved in high-level sports competition,” Ross Lavallee, a member of one of two Manitoba Deaf curling teams at the event, said.
The winning men’s and women’s curling teams will represent Canada at the 2019 Deaflympics, while the hockey competition will be used to scout players for Team Canada at the Deaflympics.
Former Winnipeg Jets player Jim Kyte is taking part in the five-team hockey tournament along with eight members of his family.
Lee Duck-hee, 18, of South Korea, is ranked 143rd in the world in a sport in which hearing the ball is considered crucial.
ASAN, South Korea -- To improve its chances in the boys’ team tennis event at the National Sports Festival here, Mapo High School in Seoul brought in a ringer from Jecheon, two hours southeast of the capital. His name was Lee Duck-hee, and he had first caught the coach’s eye when he was in elementary school.
Mapo High’s players pressed against the fence beside along the dusty hardcourts and chanted in support while Lee, 18, crushed forehand winners past his bespectacled opponent in the final. The 6-1, 6-1 win took little time - no surprise, as Lee is the best teenage player in South Korea, and a professional ranked 143rd in the world.
“Seeing the level of skill, power and returning is totally different than high school level,” said Jeong Yeong-sok, his doubles partner at the tournament.
Lee is exceptional among professionals, too. He is Deaf, and no Deaf player in the sport’s history has reached these heights. In tennis, simply seeing the ball is believed to be insufficient. Hearing the ball, top players say, enables faster reactions - a crucial advantage in a sport where powerful serves and groundstrokes mean that every tiny fraction of a second matters.

“There are so many different spins in tennis, and I can hear a lot of them coming off someone’s racket because I know what they all sound like,” said Katie Mancebo, a college tennis coach and volunteer coach for the United States Deaf tennis team. “But a Deaf player doesn’t know that sound, so they have to focus more on what the other person is doing, how they’re making contact, and what the ball looks like as it’s coming over the net.”
Joo Hyun-sang, the tennis coach at Mapo High School, said he was skeptical of Lee’s potential at first.
“When I met him the first time, I had certain doubts that being deaf would prevent him from being a great player,” he said. “But I grew confident from watching him develop and improve. I was very confident he could do it.”
Though already the second-highest-ranked player of professionals 18 and under, Lee has not fully broken through. He has yet to play a main-draw match at an ATP tournament or a Grand Slam, though he reached the final of a Challenger event, the level below the ATP World Tour, for the first time in September in Taiwan, and has made two semifinals since...

Deaf News: A swimmer from Colorado made local history being the first Deaf woman to complete the Anacapa Island Channel swim.
SANTA BARBARA, CA -- Micki Poole, a 50-year-old Deaf competitive swimmer from Greeley, Colorado completed the swim on September 12th in 7 hours, 2 minutes off the Santa Barbara coast. Poole became the first Deaf person to finish the 12.4 mile feat.
The channel is a challenge for all types of swimmers. The water is cold and choppy with strong currents, not to mention the predatory fish lingering about. Plus there are a host of rules making it even hard, one being the use of a wetsuit is prohibited.
"Typically five people attempt this swim every year, and half of them make it", said the president of the Santa Barbara Channel Swimming Association, Scott Zornig. Poole will be recognized for her accomplishment at the club's banquet in November.
"Channel swimmers typically have their coach on a boat telling them what to do, when to take breaks, and most importantly to encourage the swimmer...
A Deaf UFC fighter, Matt Hamill saves baby on highway, female driver passed out on the video goes viral.
UTICA, NY - We are receiving reports that shortly after noon today, Matt ‘the Hammer’ Hamill helped save two lives on an active highway in Utica.
Hamill, who withdrew this past weekend from his scheduled light heavyweight title eliminator bout against Thiago Silva at WSOF 19 in Phoenix, Arizona due to illlness, was driving in New York today when a car drove past him going the opposite direction it was supposed to.
The mixed martial artist who was born Deaf, knew something was wrong and immediately turned his truck around in pursuit of the vehicle. Hamill was able to catch up to the car and pin it down to a crawl before it was finally came to a stop.
‘Hammer’ could not pry the door open so he broke through the glass with his fists. Much to his surprise he found an infant in the back seat while a female driver occupied the front seat, unresponsive and unconscious.
Police arrived on scene to confirm the woman was under the influence of alcohol and drugs which led to her arrest.
Their separate carrying out due to the fact that the competition among Deaf athletes are conducted in full compliance with the rules of international sports federations for ordinary athletes, while Paralympians compete in the special rules designed for varying degrees of disability.
First Soviet athletes participated in these prestigious competitions in 1971, and since 1995 in the Deaflympics team acts of the Russian Federation. Winter Deaflympics Russians consistently (except for the Games in 1971 and 1987) took first place in the unofficial team standings.
At the XVI Deaflympics Winter Games in Salt Lake City (USA) in 2007, the Russian team won the team event, winning 18 medals (10 gold, 4 silver and 4 bronze), taking part in two disciplines (cross country skiing and ice hockey hockey) from four possible.
In the upcoming XVIII Deaflympics Winter Games in Khanty-Mansiysk and Magnitogorsk will be attended by about 450 athletes from 27 countries, which may be a record result in the history of the Games. The program of the Games competitions in five sports will be played 31 sets of medals: ten of them - in alpine skiing, ten - in snowboarding, eight - in ski racing, two sets - curling and one set - in ice hockey.
Russian athletes for the first time in its history, will compete in all events of the Winter Games: Alpine skiing (men, women), curling (men, women), cross-country skiing (men, women), snowboarding (men, women), hockey (men).

Take a look into the life of Deaf MMA fighter Daniel Michel.
Daniel Michel growing up as the only child who is Deaf in his family, Daniel Michel has always dream of rising as a superstar. He was born on May 6, in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and became involved with various sports throughout his childhood, including football, basketball, track, and so on.
He was introduced to wrestling upon his entrance to high school as a freshmen and his excellence on the mat has proven that he can take his skills to a whole new level. He joined a world-class training facility known as American Top Team in Coconut Creek, FL, and began training, initially two days a week to seven days a week.
While learning all types of fighting styles, he has been striving to inspire a wide audience of people with the demonstration that hard work can pay off while maintain with both positive attitude and patience. He is determined to continue training until his dream becomes a reality: MMA Professional Fighter.
In a world first, the 13-year-old Deaf sprinter’s scorching 100m at the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre was released by the flash of a hi-tech starting system that frees him to compete against, and beat, able-bodied athletes.
The Indooroopily State High School student’s time of 11.36secs in Thursday’s semi-final shaved .08sec from the previous mark and qualified him for the national championships to be held in Townsville in December. Just to prove it was no fluke, he repeated the time in the final, helping himself to the Queensland title. “I was so excited, and proud,” Kanneh said through an interpreter.
While his rivals reacted to the gun, Kanneh responded to a set of lights that rest directly in his eye line near the top of his starting blocks.
Previously, Deaf athletes racing in able-bodied competition would react to a tap on the shoulder from a helper standing behind the blocks.
In Kanneh’s case, he would watch for a twitch from the runner in the adjacent lane, a tactic that increases the risk of a false start.
That old system could cost Deaf sprinters almost three-tenths of a second, potentially the difference between first and last.
The storied football team of Gallaudet, the nation's first university for the Deaf. Football team's joy shines during one amazing season.
WASHINGTON, DC -- Next spring marks the 150-year anniversary of a school called Gallaudet University, which became the first university in the country to focus on the Deaf.
Today, the school has more than 2,000 students. They also have a dominant and undefeated team on the football field.
When Coach Chuck Goldstein came to Gallaudet from his high school coaching job, he had a lot to learn.
Every member of the Bison football team is Deaf or Hard of Hearing, so he had to learn to sign language, and find other ways to communicate with his players.
"I've not used a whistle in five years," Goldstein said. "Our players can't hear whistles."
Gallaudet, the nation's first university for the Deaf, has a long and storied football program. The Bison invented the huddle, thought up by a quarterback in the 1890s as way to keep other players from seeing what they signed.
But the school, famous for its contribution to the game, wasn't particularly good at playing it.
Senior quarterback Todd Bonheyo said: "I think the hardest part of this season is actually believing that's real. Based on previous seasons, we've never had this type of luck or this type of winning streak. We always come up as a losing team and now we're the winning team."

But the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD) claimed that they had been led to believe that no such process was currently underway. "It is an objective to get some events for Deaf athletes into the Paralympics," Sir Philip said. "There has been communication about events being brought back [and] discussions will be ongoing."
"There will be a minimum of seven years of discussions, so it is not something likely for 2016 but it could be in future years," said Sir Philip. But Mark Cooper, chief executive of the ICSD, claimed that they had not been informed of any roadmap that would see them make their debut in the Paralympics at Tokyo 2020.
"ICSD has never been given a minimum amount of time for membership by the IPC," he told insidethegames. "In broad terms we asked before London 2012 about adding events for Deaf athletes and were told then that there was not enough time to do so.
"We asked what the procedure currently was and were told that no procedure was currently in place and that we should await further clarification from the IPC."
Although originally forming part of what was then know as the International Co-ordination Committee of World Sports Organisations for the Disabled (ICC) Deaf events broke away in 1996 following the formation of the IPC in 1989.
Cooper remained adamant that if Deaf events were returned to the Paralympics then it would still not spell the end for the Deaflympics - which were first held in Paris in 1924 so 36 years before the inaugural Paralympics at Rome in 1960. But he conceded "it has since become clear that the Paralympic Games has garnered a lot of attention and a higher profile".

IPC Statement regarding Deaf sports and the Paralympic Games:
We note an incorrect report quoting IPC President Sir Philip Craven saying “It is an objective to get some events for Deaf athletes into the Paralympics,” in a story that claims Deaf athletes could compete at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics.
Sir Philip Craven did not say this and had been misquoted.
What Sir Philip Craven in fact was referring to is that it is an objective of the ICSD (International Committee of Sports for the Deaf) to get some events for Deaf athletes into the Paralympics.
The IPC President also did not say that Deaf athletes could compete at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games as the headline suggests... Read The Full Story.
Deaf Sports News: Province to spend up to $40K a year for interpreters following human rights complaint.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- The father of a Deaf athlete from Winnipeg says he is pleased to hear Manitoba will now be providing interpreters to help other deaf players communicate.
The Manitoba government will set aside up to $40,000 a year to help Deaf children participating in amateur sport communicate with their teammates, coaches and game officials, following a human rights complaint.
Two parents of Deaf children initially approached the Manitoba Human Rights Commission complaining that lack of money for sign language services made it harder for some Deaf children to participate in sports.
The parents said the lack of interpretive services meant their children couldn't participate fully in sports, develop leadership skills and have the same advantages as their peers.
One of the complainants, Rick Zimmer, says his son, Cody, wanted to play soccer but couldn't because there was no interpreter available for him and other Deaf players... Read The Full Story.

Manitoba's Thomas Osborn, The Kelvin High School student will represent Canada at the 2013 Deaflympics.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Thomas Osborn lives in three worlds. Deaf, hearing and underwater. It's in the water world he is reaching heights never imagined by him or his family when his hearing, on a continuous decline since birth, completely disappeared at age 10.
"There's a running joke with athletes who swim is that the pool is a second home," said Thomas, a member of the Manitoba Marlins Swim Club. "Our group spends over 25 hours (per week) training. Swimming has given me a lot of achievements, I'm proud of that, and I am hoping to achieve even more."
The youngest child and only son of Carolynn and DeWayne Osborn, Thomas will compete in five events at the Deaflympics the 400-, 200-, 100- and 50-metre freestyle events and the 200-m individual medley.
"It's amazing to me, for him to get to the level he is at in swimming, given what he's had to overcome," DeWayne said.
"We're very proud of all the things he's accomplished," Carolynn said. "You don't always get what you want in life. You play the hand you were dealt. So that's the hand we've been dealt, that's the hand he's been dealt, and I think he's played it remarkably well."
A friendly, polite, confident young man, with an easy smile, Thomas turned 17 on Sunday, the day he left for Bulgaria... Read The Full Story.
