Deaflympics Update

The future of the Deaflympics is in doubt. That's what the new CEO of the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf is telling the media. Mark Dolley, who lives in London, says keeping the games going is his main goal, following accusations that the lead organizer of this year's winter games in Slovakia stole money from the program, forcing the cancellation of all events. The next games are set for Greece in 2013. But that country is in the midst of a financial crisis. Even the games set for 2015 in Vancouver are in doubt because the organizing committee has dissolved.
