Blind and Deaf

According to International Blind Sports Federation(IBSA), for those with 20/200ft(6/18m) to total blindness after sight corrections made by glasses can participate in sports.

IBSA has determined three classes in international competition for blind and partially sighted athletes:

B1 - From no light perception in either eye to light perception, but inability to recognise the shape of a hand at any distance or in any direction.

B2 - From ability to recognise the shape of a hand to a visual acuity of 2/60 and/or visual field of less than 5 degrees.

B3 - From visual acuity above 2/60 to visual acuity of 6/60 and/or visual field of more than 5 degrees and less than 20 degrees.

People with Blind and are visually impaired usually recommended to participate in activities viz-:
-Wrestling, judo, tumbling, weight training
-Bowling, dart throwing, shuffle board
-Dance, gymnastics, roller skating, ice skating
-Swimming, water skiing, fishing, rowing, surfing
-Horseback riding, tandem cycling
-Most winter sports

while Deaf unlike the athletes in all other International Olympic Committee sanctioned games, including the Olympics, the Paralympics and the Special Olympics, the Deaflympians cannot be guided by starter’s guns, bullhorn commands or referee whistles. Nor can the majority of the athletes experience the crucial sense of inclusion in other general games because they cannot just strike up a conversation or in other ways communicate instantly or in a practical manner with their fellow hearing athletes.

Internationally governed by Comite International des Sports des Sourds (CISS)
stated taht is why the Summer and Winter Deaflympics have become so important to the worldwide deaf community and why they must and will continue to go on independently, while continuing their rapid growth in scope, size and importance. Increasingly, they also serve as a bridge between athletes brought up in the traditional schools for deaf children and the growing number of deaf athletes from mainstream educational institutions.

Unlike other games for athletes with disabilities, which are all directed by non-disabled officials, the Summer and Winter Deaflympics are run by deaf people for deaf athletes.


on 2nd March 2010, we having practical at lab and plays a blind's game and also learn how to play with visual impairment. Firstly, we were divided into 4groups which each pf the group have to guess what was the thing that Mdm Vina give to us. every each session, we have to alternate in group by be a blindness people, which we can only use our hearing,sense,smells and taste to answer according to Mdm Vina's question.
After that, we were play one game that required all team mates blind folded eye except one people can open his/her eye to give instructions to others member and complete the game in fastest time as they can. we have to put the ball into a basket in a certain distances apart. Later, we play a game that assigned us to bring all 6 special ball( ada loceng kat dalam) to the end of the distance without move or walk. We just lined-up and sit on the floor so that the last men can get all the 6 balls completely.
Then, lastly we play a blind ball game whereby the ball have to be goal and there were rules in this game. The ball cannot go above of waist height, cannot use leg to transfer ball, ball can change to others team if the ball drop out of the court line or other's team area. Point are counted if the ball goes in the goal post.
During this game, all members were blind and deaf. our ears were wearing the ear plug.
