@iocmedia @Athlete365 An important and critical milestone.

[Dean Barton-Smith AM OLY 🇦🇺 @DeanDeca]

@iocmedia @LA28 Any reason why these IOC videos are not captioned?

@7Sport @hansonmedia Captions? If you can do it on live TV you can do it on video here. Consider the 4m plus Deaf/hard of hearing audience you are excluding here.

@CommGamesAUS @Glasgow_2026 Bravo! 👏

[Dean Barton-Smith AM OLY 🇦🇺 @DeanDeca]

@7Sport Can’t follow what is being said without captions. Please ensure videos like this are open captioned as we need to consider the 4m Australians who are Deaf or hard of hearing who like to be equally informed. Thank you.

@nicolejeffery Tough to watch but Claudia and Jess should be commended in what and how they approached each other after the finish line. Graceful and sportspersonship displayed.

[Dean Barton-Smith AM OLY 🇦🇺 @DeanDeca]

@nicolejeffery Indeed hold onto our hats. His last lap looked effortless as oppose to the rest of the pack who were working very hard to finish. Exciting times ahead.

@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? 🧏‍♂️

@iocmedia Captions???? 🧏‍♂️

[Dean Barton-Smith AM OLY 🇦🇺 @DeanDeca]

@nicolejeffery Agree. Sensational effort 👏

[Dean Barton-Smith AM OLY 🇦🇺 @DeanDeca]

@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.

[Dean Barton-Smith AM OLY 🇦🇺 @DeanDeca]

@iocmedia Captions please 🙏

[Dean Barton-Smith AM OLY 🇦🇺 @DeanDeca]

@iocmedia Captions??

[Dean Barton-Smith AM OLY 🇦🇺 @DeanDeca]

@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.

[Dean Barton-Smith AM OLY 🇦🇺 @DeanDeca]

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