Introduction
The World Deaf Athletics Championships, first held in 2008, are quadrennial global competitions organized by the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD). These championships provide a platform for deaf athletes to compete in various athletic events, promoting inclusivity and excellence in sports.
One of the unique aspects of the World Deaf Athletics Championships is the use of visual signals instead of auditory cues, ensuring that all athletes can compete fairly regardless of their hearing ability. This adaptation highlights the commitment to creating an equitable environment for all participants.
Since their inception, the championships have grown significantly, with increasing numbers of athletes and countries participating. This growth reflects the broader recognition and support for deaf athletes and their contributions to the global sports community[2]
