Answer 1

"Deaf-Blind Ambition

Canadian speed skater Kevin Frost has Olympic ambitions and there are only two things in his way -- Usher Syndrome and the International Paralympic Committee's failure to recognize deaf-blind speed skating as a sport.

Usher Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that causes progressive hearing and vision loss (there is more than one type of Usher Syndrome; for more information, please visit the links page). In Kevin's case, he has tunnel vision (only 8% of normal visual range) and a sound has to register about 90 decibels for him to hear it. But being deaf-blind is not stopping him."

Kevin plays golf too.

On this website, on the previous page, they refer to the program being for the blind, deaf and deaf/blind, so I guess this counts for the Deaf/blind group too.

"BCBSRA offers opportunities for members to participate in 11 sports.

In most events, athletes are classified according to the degree of vision they have. This classification system (see below) helps makes the Games fair for athletes with different disabilities. Select a sport and learn the types of modifications that these sports use to allow a person with a visual impairment to participate, as well as to see results and athlete profiles for each sport. BCBSRA members compete in the following sports at various levels, from the local club competition, to regional, Provincial Games, the National Championships, and international events and championships or the Paralympic Games:

Athletics (track and field) *
Dragon Boat
Goalball *
Golf
Hockey

Lawn Bowls
Powerlifting
Showdown
Swimming *
Tandem Cycling *

Answer 2

Okay, let me start off by saying I don't quite get your question. Do you mean people who are deaf AND blind? Or people who are either deaf OR blind? Assuming it is the latter, I think deaf people could play volleyball or golf without any hinderance. Blind people could probably swim (by counting strokes) in competitions.

Answer 3

able-bodied human beings have performed adverse to human beings in chairs in basketball and hockey. also Shot-positioned, archery. swimming. those with amputations play in maximum activities. operating is one get at the same time. those who're deaf won't be able to play in team sport wells, yet human being activities can compete both. There are blind climbers and paragliders. the in undemanding words project truly is favor. maximum activities have some potential to make some lodging without compromising the equality of the competition.
