The International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD) organizes deaf athletes globally . In other words, they organize the international Deaflympics and other World Deaf Championships. The Deaflympics convenes every four years. During these events, deaf athletes have competed in their sports. They also have become friends with athletes from other countries. ICSD promotes and develops opportunities for sports and competition for deaf athletes globally. They work to create “more and better athletes”.
