Dean Barton-Smith AM OLY 🇦🇺

@stkildafc At the opening game at the MCG tonight. A few years ago this club would ensure there are open captions on the big screen but now? Any reason? As a (deaf) member of the club would be grateful if this is reinstated so deaf supporters feel included and engaged. Thanks 🙏

@iocmedia @paugasol Captions? 🧏‍♂️

💫@paugasol has been elected to the IOC Executive Board. Continuing the tradition of the newly elected IOC Athletes’ Commission Chair serving on the EB, his appointment strengthens the athlete voice at the heart of the Olympic Movement.

Giovanni Malagò, President of the #MilanoCortina2026 Organising Committee, is addressing the 145th IOC Session this morning on the final day of these incredible Olympic Winter Games. 👏

@nicolejeffery Agree. Sensational effort 👏

Seriously good 4th place for an underpowered Aust team in the mixed team aerials. Despite having a team of two women-one man, where their rivals had two men-one woman, and having lost their No.1 woman Laura Peel to an ACL injury, the Aussies almost jagged an Olympic medal.

@iocmedia @milanocortina26 Once again…… can you ensure captions are provided. There are over a billion people in this world who are Deaf or hard of hearing who would appreciate knowing what is being said here. Especially Olympians like myself. If Olympians can do it on their own social media, so can IOC.

IOC President Kirsty Coventry thanks the @milanocortina26 Organising Committee and all the volunteers, during the final IOC press briefing at #MilanoCortina2026, two days ahead of the Closing Ceremony.

@iocmedia Captions please 🙏

"We like it when non-winter sport countries take great interest in the Olympic Winter Games," says Anne-Sophie Voumard, Managing Director of IOC Television & Marketing Services. Which countries is she talking about? #MilanoCortina2026

James Macleod, Director of NOC Relations, Olympic Solidarity & Olympism365, highlights how Olympic Solidarity supports athletes and coaches across all sports, winter and summer, on their path to the Games 💫

@iocmedia Can you please………please………PLEASE ensure all your social media videos are open captioned. I’m an Olympian (yet profoundly deaf) and love to know what is being said here. Let’s ensure we are catering for everyone not a select few.

Halfway through the Olympic Winter Games #MilanoCortina2026, IOC President Kirsty Coventry speaks about the athletes who continue to inspire the world. ❤️

@nicolejeffery Sensational efforts all round. Our Aussies are doing us proud and showing our usual grit along with good humour. 🇦🇺

SILVER for Scotty James in the halfpipe. Not what he came for but he has completed Australia’s best ever day at the Winter Olympics, following Josie Baff’s gold in snowboard cross. #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026

@iocmedia As a proud Olympian and avid supporter of the Olympic Movement Wouldn’t it be a truly wonderful that whenever the main Olympic Cauldron is lighted, every other Cauldrons used in past Olympic Games also light up to show global solidarity and awareness. @AUSOlympicTeam

@iocmedia As an Olympian myself, who happens to also be deaf, can you please ensure all your videos such as this are open captioned. Thanks

@Channel7 @AFL Curious why there is a person doing Australian Sign Language (Auslan) on the grounds at the AFL Grand Final during the Australian Anthem but it is not shown on the TV screen which is bit remarkable especially given this week is National Week of Deaf People. 🤔

Simply sensational jump! 14th world record and on his third attempt 6.30m and the bar wobbled but stayed. Brilliant stuff @mondohoss600 👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪💪💪

@SBSSportau any idea who is providing the captioning for the World Athletics Championships? Appears they are not factoring the placements of the captioning properly. Should be up top so to not block out essential viewing. Please do better!

Dear @stkildafc - if you can duplicate that passion, commitment, focus and dedication of that last quarter against Melbourne, and repeat it in every every quarter and every game hereon, that Premiership Cup 🏆 will reachable in 2026. Maintain the faith and believe. 😇🔴⚫️⚪️💪🏳️🏳️

@AustralianAths Any reason why the Australian Championship shown on @7plus is not made accessible by way of captions? You can do it on free to air but not on your streaming channel? Whose decision was it to exclude Deaf and hard of hearing people? Isn’t this discrimination?

@7plus any reason why the Australian athletics replays of the past three major meets in Perth, Adelaide and Sydney are not made accessible by way of captions on 7+? Why should Deaf/hard of hearing Australians be asking for access? @AustralianAths #AccessForAll
