The participants will compete in 21 categories, including track-and-field, badminton, basketball, beach volleyball, bowling, cycling, football, golf, handball, judo, karate, mountain bike, shooting, swimming, table tennis, taekwondo, tennis, volleyball and wrestling.

The Chinese delegation with 107 athletes will take part in nine events.

The first Deaflympics was organized by the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD) in Paris in 1924.
