The All-Russian Sports Federation of the Deaf continues its extensive efforts to introduce changes to the regulatory acts of the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation.

On March 5th, the Ministry of Justice of Russia registered Order No. 76 issued by the Ministry of Sports, titled "On the Recognition and Inclusion of Sports Disciplines in the All-Russian Register of Sports, and on Amendments to the All-Russian Register of Sports."

Among the approved changes, several updates pertain specifically to deaf sports.

The newly recognized disciplines include:

- 3x3 basketball;

- Alpine skiing - slalom - parallel (Deaflympic disciplines);
