Current flag

On 2019-10-29, the emblem change was announced [1]: the dragon and inscription were replaced by the Deaflympics logo, as seen in the Deaflympics flag.

The change, which was approved by the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf, was to be fully implemented in 2020 [1]. The photos of the flag currently available online date from 2022 [2] and 2023 [3].
