Competitions were held in 21 sports, including badminton, freestyle, Greco-Roman, and freestyle wrestling, cycling (road and mountain), golf, judo, karate, track and field, table tennis, swimming, tennis, taekwondo, and others.
Russia was represented by 36 neutral athletes competing individually in 13 disciplines, including 12 Muscovites (which is a third of the total number of athletes from Russia).
Russian athletes won 40 medals at the Games, including 29 gold, eight silver, and three bronze. Muscovites made a significant contribution to this result, winning 10 medals (accounting for 25 percent of the total Russian medal count) – nine gold (31 percent) and one silver (13 percent). Six Moscow athletes won medals or medals in five events at the Deaflympic Games in Japan.
The following athletes won the Deaflympic Championship: Mikhail Efremov, Shokhzod Gulomzoda, and Elena Tyurina (badminton), Alexey Shemarov (Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling), Sergey Tetyushkin (karate), and Dmitry Dolzhenkov (tennis). Mikhail Efremov (badminton) also won a silver medal.
"We've decided to reward the athletes and pay the champions four million rubles for each title, and the silver medalist 2.5 million rubles. Coaches and teachers will receive half of this amount for each prize. Congratulations to the athletes and everyone who led them to such an outstanding result! I wish them continued success!" wrote Sergei Sobyanin.
