In table tennis, hearing players judge ball speed and spin by relying on sounds of the ball hitting the rackets and table. Deaf athletes, however, use vision instead of sound to discern the ball whilst playing, using visual skills and making predictions. At the Deaflympics, when bench coaches give advice during the 1-minute breaks between games and timeouts, sign language interpreters can accompany hearing bench coaches. Note the sign language interpreters working hard as team members to accurately convey information to athletes within limited time. TOKYO 2025 DEAFLYMPICS https://deaflympics2025-games.jp/#gsc.tab=0
