One of the most important priorities for the All-Russian Sports Federation of the Deaf (OSFSG) is strengthening the regulatory framework for deaf sports. This includes developing and implementing updates to development programs, competition rules, the All-Russian Board of Judges regulations, athlete transfers, anti-doping policies, and more.

Additionally, the Federation is actively working to refine the Unified All-Russian Sports Classification, which governs the awarding and confirmation of sports titles and ranks in Russia. The current version of the Classification expires this year, and efforts are already underway to draft amendments for the upd ated regulatory document, se t to take effect in 2026.

From July 4 to 8, workshops were held to review and adjust the standards required for awarding titles and ranks in deaf sports. Participants included Vyacheslav Yershov (First Vice-President of the OSFSG), Alexander Tymoshchuk (Advisor to the OSFSG President), and senior coaches of the Russian national deaf sports teams.

The finalized amendments and recommendations will be submitted to the Russian Ministry of Sports for approval, ensuring the new Classification properly incorporates deaf sports regulations.
