Comments on: Britain cuts funding for deaf athletes http://www.patriciaebauer.com/2008/06/09/deaf-athletes-2284/ Disability News | PatriciaEBauer.com Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:58:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Gaurav Khanna http://www.patriciaebauer.com/2008/06/09/deaf-athletes-2284/comment-page-1/#comment-1033 Gaurav Khanna Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:29:03 +0000 http://www.patriciaebauer.com/?p=2284#comment-1033 The capability and competency of Deaf sports people cannot be questioned. Physically and mentally, they are at par or even more capable with Normal hearing people but undoubtedly the Deaf have a high concentration level in comparison to a normal hearing person as they are not distracted with the surrounding noise. Deaf people have the gift of very sharp eyes and a very sharp brain. They are very vigilant with the surrounding movements and their mind always tries to find out, anticipate and read the meaning of others' body language. It is only the curse of a Communication Barrier which creates obstacles in their ways of success. Deaf people have lots of energy and talent and this energy shall not be wasted. If we will be successful in removing this obstacle from their way, I am sure that nothing can stop a deaf sports person. It is really unfortunate that the government of such a developed country would have such narrow thought for the Deaf sports person. They should send the team of Normal sports persons in 2012 Olympics but not at the cost of Deaflympics 2009. The capability and competency of Deaf sports people cannot be questioned.
