That's the first time I'm not able to translate anything from our athletes to you :) I can only say, that last month they weren't in such a good mood :p Now I'm keeping my fingrers crossed for them, so that this weekend we could say to everybody during next leg of the league, that we are the ones who beat the Deaflympics ___ medalists (the empty place to fill in with a color).

Odds of a medal are slim to none I’d say, but you never know...

Bronze might be doable.

And I think that's how their pad cover looks like - I use it for league only, normally I have another one for trainings and minor bonspiels.

Yes, in fact some kind of sign language is used by every team - to show which stone you should hit, where your stone should stop, with how big force you should throw... However, they need to use it al

If it’s any consolation @Fly_like_a_don for :IND missing the 2020 YOG, they did send a few skiers here. However, it wouldn’t say their results were noteworthy for a good reason. It’s still good to see them amongst the results though.

They may have sent a chess player, but I haven’t seen them in any of the ski results I’ve looked at.

@Vojthas Poland lost to China in the semifinals, and will play Finland for the bronze medal.

I'm heading the rink right now to teach a few deafs a little bit of curling. I have plans for them, but they don't know it yet. Where are the next Deaflympics?

I’d be more surprised if there’s any Deaflympics in the near future given the complete state of anarchy the ICSD was in until recently. I don’t thing they’ve even choose a host for the 2021 Summer Deaflympics yet...

The next Winter Deaflympics would be in 2023 (and they’ll probably happen because I believe the ICSD is under better leadership now).

 

Also, wouldn’t recommend referring to your students as “the deafs”, just a suggestion. As a speech writer, I’d never let anyone with credibility use that. I think either deaf athletes, or just athletes would be better.

Well, maybe that's the matter of language. In Polish they seem to take this word as totally neutral. The word that is offensive for them is deafmute, which probably most of us (for example me until yesterday) think it's the polite way.

      Serbia- Italy 0-6   I don't know how tjis Serbia can to draw 0-0 with Sweden at home... I have the impression that Sweden plays its best matches against Italy and is weak in the rest? However, 1 place in this group will be difficult to do and we won't avoid a playoff spot for spot on the World Cup. If we're to dream of first place, we absolutely must win in Denmark on Saturday.

      These stats are ridiculous.  I think ElShorbagy and ElSherbini are still in the Top 10 now.   (By comparison, 15 years is also the time span since Katie Ledecky has lost a 1500m race.)   Source: PSA Facebook
