The Taipei Deaflympics Organising Committee of the 21^st Summer Deaflympics (TDOC) is riding off into the sunset at the end of August, 2010 as it had made the mission completed.

 

TDOC was found since 2005. In the past five years preparation period, it was in charge of planning, organising, financing and staging the event. The Official Results, Official Film, Sporting Highlights as well as the related official documentary files are submitted to ICSD and its members in compliance with the Deaflympics Regulation. The Chinese Taipei Sports Association of The Deaf will be on behalf of the committee attends the ICSD Congress host in Slovakia at February, 2011. By taking part in official reports presentation, we will share the honor and success of Taiwan with the whole members.

 

The 21^st Summer Deaflympics broke the mold when it made a name for itself in 2009. It’s the first Deaflympics competition held in the Asian city and the best one in the unprecedented record. This meaningful challenge touched everyone in Taiwan and became the treasure of Taipei. One year ago, the whole committee spread themselves too thin on the countdown stage. One year later, TDOC is going to make a wonderful ending with all efforts and into the official dismissed procedure. The significant Deaflympics legacy includes the sporting, cultural, humane and thoughtful aspects will be handed down to the next generation. And we believe that the Deaflympics sprit will be blooming everywhere someday in this beautiful island.

 

The 21^st Summer Deaflympics was declared to the best one ever since it was held from 1924 by The International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD). In the meanwhile, its’ outstanding achievement is also hard to be transcended. This state-of-the-art results are that 4,018 athletes and officials from 81 countries were participated in the event and 41 Game Records and 55 Deaf World Records were be broken.

 

Under extraordinary accomplishments, people deeply expect that Taiwan could turn it into an advantageous point for biding the large scale international sports event in the future. Taipei shows the diversification and attracts the worldwide recognition by hosting international events such as the 21^st Summer Deaflympics (2009) and TAIPEI INT’L FLORA EXPO (2010). It’s not only demonstrate its’ ambition of being the globe city but also improve the international awareness.
