Last year Padel Magazine had the chance to meet Kevin Farhang, a badminton and padel enthusiast.
This practitioner suffering from profound deafness gave us his impressions of the padel that he discovered recently.
A competitor at heart, he has had some great badminton tournaments on the Rock and in the Alpes-Maritimes.
It is at the exit of the confinement that Kevin discovered the padel in the Tennis Padel Club de Beausoleil.
During our discussion he mentioned his wish to be able to participate in competitions for the deaf and hard of hearing in padel.
European Deaf Padel Open
Thing wanted, done!
And this is very good news for disabled sports because from December 3 to 5, 2021 will take place in Salamanca, Spain the first European Deaf Padel.
Spaniards, Italians, Belgians, Croats or even French – Monégasquess will be heard from the game to represent their flag.
On Saturday 3 will take place the matches Men and Women in the deaf category with participants coming from various countries.
And on Sunday the players will fight in teams.
Unfortunately for the moment it is still impossible to make a team for France but Kevin Farhang is confident about the future of padel for the deaf in France.
With a little patience and a good organization this team will be able to assemble itself very soon.
A future for deaf players in the padel?
Although at the moment it is still difficult for deaf players to be able to enter competitions, we believe that in some time this will be possible.
According to the young player, the governing bodies are sensitive to the demand for the creation of padel competitions and championships for deaf players in France.
The Padel Magazine team has been trying to offer you since 2013 the best of padel, but also surveys, analyzes to try to understand the world of padel. From the game to the politics of our sport, Padel Magazine is at your service.
