Eli Zaharieva was delighted to report on the progress of Bulgarian athletes with medals for their wrestling team. Mr Cooper then explained the outline for the Closing Ceremony on Sunday.



The Men's football final will take place at Vasil Levski Stadium, and depending on whether the match is completed after 90 minutes or there is a need for extra time, the turnaround will be quite quick.



The plan is to vacate the stadium and go to the neighbouring park, Boris Gardens while the stadium is prepared for the Speeches and the Closing Ceremony video.







After the speeches and the passing of the flag at Vasil Levski Stadium, there will be entertainment at Boris Gardens, which will include a customary Bulgarian folk dance company.



As one Deaf world, we will all be together, mingle and celebrate the Deaflympics as one community. The element of Deaf culture where there will be no time limit, as the lamps in the park will all be kept on so there will be plenty of light for sign language and celebration.

Manitoba Swimmer At Deaflympics

VIDEO [CC] - Manitoba's swimmer at Deaflympics. Thomas Osborn, The Kelvin High School student will represent Canada at the 2013 Deaflympics July 26-Aug. 4 in Sofia, Bulgaria.



WINNIPEG - Thomas Osborn lives in three worlds. Deaf, hearing and underwater. It's in the water world he is reaching heights never imagined by him or his family when his hearing, on a continuous decline since birth, completely disappeared at age 10.



The Kelvin High School student will represent Canada at the 2013 Deaflympics July 26-Aug. 4 in Sofia, Bulgaria. He's one of just six swimmers on Team Canada for the international multi-sport games, which is sanctioned by the International Committeee of Sports of the Deaf. (Deaf athletes are not eligible for the Paralympics so this is their Olympics.)



"There's a running joke with athletes who swim is that the pool is a second home," said Thomas, a member of the Manitoba Marlins Swim Club. "Our group spends over 25 hours (per week) training. Swimming has given me a lot of achievements, I'm proud of that, and I am hoping to achieve even more."



The youngest child and only son of Carolynn and DeWayne Osborn, Thomas will compete in five events at the Deaflympics the 400-, 200-, 100- and 50-metre freestyle events and the 200-m individual medley.







"It's amazing to me, for him to get to the level he is at in swimming, given what he's had to overcome," DeWayne said.



"We're very proud of all the things he's accomplished," Carolynn said. "You don't always get what you want in life. You play the hand you were dealt. So that's the hand we've been dealt, that's the hand he's been dealt, and I think he's played it remarkably well."



A friendly, polite, confident young man, with an easy smile, Thomas turned 17 on Sunday, the day he left for Bulgaria. Read more at http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/water-world-216880051.html

Deaflympics: Press Conference In Sofia, Bulgaria

VIDEO: Press conference of the International Olympic Committee and Mark Cooper.



SOFIA - A press conference held in Sofia before the upcoming Deaflympics from 26 July to 4 August in the capital of Bulgaria. About 5,000 athletes from 80 countries are expected to participate in the competition in 18 sports.

Journalists were informed in detail about the organization.







Nikolay Nikolov: We will have many reasons to see you again. Deaflympics is the name in the International Olympic Committee, which means the official Olympic Games for the Deaf.



Lazar Kamenov: The crisis is not only in our country but around the world. But since the last time Bulgaria successfully hosted several World championships for Deaf athletes we decided it was a good basis to expand the scope of the sports disciplines by hosting the Olympics.



During the Games in Sofia will be held the next Congress of the International Federation of Sports for the Deaf, where it is expected the number of participating countries to reach the number 100. VIP guests from various sports organizations will be in the capital of Bulgaria At the event is expected Mr. Christopher Dubie to represent the IOC.
