Olympics for the deaf
It's one of the fastest growing sporting events in the world, with more than 4,000 athletes and support staff from around 85 countries taking part.
The 21st Deaflympics, which gives the chance for people with hearing impairments to show off their athletics skills, is drawing to a close in Taiwan.
The games play an important part in promoting public awareness of the problems faced by deaf people.
Cindy Sui, our reporter in Taipei, went to meet one of the athletes, Rajeev Bagga (pictured) on Monday as he was hoping to win his sixth gold medal in badminton.
