THE Malaysian Deaf Sports Association (MSDeaf) athletes are in good shape for the run-up to the 23rd Summer Deaflympics in Samsun, Turkey from July 18 to 30 whereby 4,500 participants from 109 countries will gather.

With less than a month before heading off to what is the pinnacle of sporting events for deaf sportsmen and sportswomen, all 15 of them training in Kedah (athletics) and Selangor (badminton and bowling) have shifted into high gear with their eyes on the highest rung of the winner’s podium.
