Craig's full bag of lies! Most of UK Deaf people knew tht ICSD will be f**ked once he elected president of ICSD!Accord to some source tht Craig knew it was impossible to relocation Winter Deaflypmic or carry on wiv slovakia wiv no budget to support.he let it go on for few mths before made a worse decision:Cancelled the Winter Deaflypmic at last min when he/ICSD could have cancel it few mths before.Summer Deaflypmic Athens are in dangerous of cancel again (he knew it's cancelled already!)
I know you will not believe this but I have heard some news from Vancouver fellows (I live in Canada as well but not in Vancouver) that the 2015 Winter Olympics is cancelled. The official annoucement is on the H3 Network website. Plus the members of the Vancouver Olmypics Committee have also all resigned. They are now looking for a new host for the 2015 Winter Olympics.
lol, check out h3 network media on google and you will find the vlog and interviews, by the way the correct spelling is Montreal, actually Bridget "sportmx" had an interview with Tiffany instead of Dawn Jan Birley "H3 Tv" and Jaromir Ruda is hard of hearing but he choose to speak instead of using sign language
wow thanks so much for sharing your interesting awesome 2 weeks experiences with 2007 Winter Deaf Olympics in SLC. I hope you did save some your papers or file that you did wrote!!!! Wow thanks so much for helping to contact the media!!! Yeah wow no wonder Special Olympics beat the Deaf Olympics!!!!! That's something need to improve. Sad about Winter Deaflympics in Slovakia!!! Hope that ICED or ICSD will learn something!! Do you think they the committee will learn?
Ridor9th, long video, get to the point quickly. I put up with your video I was anxious about Deaflympics Scandal. My advice for long videos is to get to the point at the beginning, then expand to the details. If you plan short video, then go the opposite, details, then get to the point. It is called discourse.
Lastly, your video was informative of what was going on between the awarding bid to cancellation. Like the quote, "Once you fool, that's okay, Twice you fool, you are dumb". *THUMB UP*
Hey Ricky, at timeline 11:31, ya said something that I cudn't figure it out, H or N3.tv along with Tiffany Granford or something like that, can you type it out, is it a tv program or a website?
It sure is a shame what ICSD did, no common sense or maybe too embarrassed to say...made a mistake...so decided to keep it going and now it's cancelled! Sighs
Years ago, my sister told me this saying: Screw me once, shame on you...Screw me twice, shame on me (should've known better). Ur vlogs rocks! :-D
FYI.... The OC in Vancouver for 2015 Winter Deaflympic games is disolved due a lack of money. This committee had never paid ICSD $125,000 for a hostship fee or something like that. Montroel may be the one to host but only rumor...
@rsbalk $125,000 for hostship? Where did you get the fact? I investigated into ICSD guidelines and found only $10,000 for Winter Games and $25,000 for Summer Games. Get the facts RIGHT.
@kevinjonasrocks008 I realized that I made a mistake. Jaromir Ruda IS Deaf but his spokesman is hearing -- apparently I misunderstood who's who ... it is his spokesman that cannot sign worth anything. Jaromir was silent type. Rumors has indicated that Ruda belongs to a mafia in Slovakia. Dunno if it is true.
Don't forget enablers who were voting delegates at the ICSD Congress. Slovakia was voted by the majority. Former USADSF President Dr. Bobbie Beth Scoggins was among voters. She should publicly disclose with proof her vote for the 2011 games bid. Ditto for other U.S. delegate (Sam Sonnenstrahl, Jack Lamberton or whoever). How can anyone vote for Slovakia after witnessing such ineptitude? Many said the Slovakian bid presentation lacked substance. Who was on ICSD's Executive Committee back then?
There were many solutions conjured by many. Systematically ignored. ICSD self-bloated with championship programs often cancelled turning off intelligent leaders and sponsors. Looking at trends involving Gallaudet (Hottle, Goldstein, Cook, Beil and keeping status quo with P. Kelly) we know ICSD hired a hearing person (worked with IOC before an entity promoting the 2012 London Olympics). I'm curious if there were deaf, qualifying applicants good after checking for ethics and conflict of interest?
The U.S. and international media will give more better attention if the Deaf resort to better standard operating procedures (SOP). Moreover, it doesn't help when some athletes, especially from U.S., qualified for the games despite mediocre if not most limited history of performance. What a joke. Watering down qualifying standards won't help the cause. Many known weekend warriors walked to berths on the U.S. Deaflympic teams for the ride and they tend to tank in competition. A real travesty.
So typical. I first knew about the Deaflympic movement shortly prior to the great 1981 games. Due to lowering qualifying standards, favoritism, nepotism and cronyism within countries, confederacies and ICSD the Deaflympic movement has been declining since Los Angeles won the bid for hosting the 1985 games and they were ill-prepared. This fiasco of fiascos originated on the watch of former ICSD President Ammons and her pals. She resigned knowing ICSD is in good hands. Karma bites. Good riddance.
