Deaf Athletes in the Olympics?

I was wondering if we had any Deaf athletes in the Olympics, so I did what any curious blogger would do... I googled it! I only came up with a few good links; but two things disturbed me. Firstly, what I found most disturbing is that the Deflympics was just in July and I had no idea! I have to find out how to be better informed on such events for the Deaf community! I missed out and am not happy about that.  Secondly, I read that they actually had to debate the use of hand signals and lights to signal a Deaf swimmer Marcus Titus. Read all about Titus and other Deaf athlete issues from the links below. Enjoy! and comment, share, share:D Thanks
