Marketing thumb|The banyan leaf and azalea flower worn by the mascots are Taipei's official tree and flower. Emblem The emblem comes from the shape of the Chinese character for north (北 běi pei3), representing the host city Taipei (臺北 Tʻai²-pei³ Táiběi), with an ear representing the Deaflympics, and a figure as the main body representing the athletes. The design uses the blue, white and red color scheme of the national flag and simple, flowing calligraphic lines, evoking the "image of running man". It symbolizes the courageous spirits of the athletes as they excel and meet the challenges as well as the vitality of Taiwan. Motto The 2009 Summer Deaflympics motto is "Power in me!". The Chinese version is "無聲的力量" (literally, "The Power of Silence"). Mascots The Games' mascots are two Taipei tree frogs (one male and one female). The mascots have their arms wide open, in a welcoming pose that looks like the Chinese character "北", which represents the host city Taipei. A mascot naming contest was held by the Organising Committee. The names chosen are "Peace" for the male frog mascot and "Love" for the female frog mascot.http://english.2009deaflympics.org/files/15-1027-2873,c244-1.php Taipei Deaflympics Mascot Names Revealed: 「Peace」 and 「Love」 2009-07-06 https://web.archive.org/web/20111007205106/http://english.2009deaflympics.org/files/15-1027-2873,c244-1.php 2011-10-07 dead http://service.wretch.cc/treefrogs Taipei Deaflympics Mascot Naming Contest 2009-07-06 https://web.archive.org/web/20110706220617/http://service.wretch.cc/treefrogs 2011-07-06 dead Theme song The theme song is "Dreams You Can Hear" (聽得見的夢想), performed by A-mei.ID3gSzy16Jk Dreams You Can Hear MV Sponsors Sponsors of the 2009 Summer Deaflympics Official partners 18em Metlife Chunghwa Telecom Delta Group Giant Bicycles PX Mart Quaker Oats Company Luxgen 7-Eleven China Airlines Samsung Formosa Partners 18em Nike Rotary International Phoenix Channel Official sponsors 18em Victor SECOM Coca-Cola Corporate sponsors 18em Starbucks Coffee International Trade Building Taiwan Beer Pacific SOGO Department Stores White Sugar Cane Healthy Shabu Shabu House Nulife ChiaTe Bakery 3M Wintec Taiwan Taxi Taiwan PowerSponsors 18em Importek 360 Digital Media Matthew Beaux-arts Rich Jade HeimaVista Living Mall Sports The various sports offered at the 2009 Summer Deaflympics were held in 20 disciplines, including 15 individual sports and 5 team sports:General Technical Rules - Summer Deaflympics https://web.archive.org/web/20090121001047/http://english.2009deaflympics.org/files/13-1027-876.php January 21, 2009 Individual sports 22em Athletics Badminton Bowling Cycling Judo (10) Karate (5) Orienteering Shooting sports Shooting Swimming Swimming Table tennis Taekwondo (7) Tennis Freestyle wrestling Wrestling, Freestyle (7) Greco-Roman wrestling Wrestling, Greco-Roman (7) Team sports 22em Basketball (2) Beach volleyball (2) Football Football (2) Handball Handball (1) Volleyball (2) Water polo (1) Venues The Games were held in 22 venues, most of which located in Taipei City and Taipei County (now New Taipei City).

It will be divided into 12 acts, including a performance titled "Impossible Dream" by renowned Taiwanese model Patina Lin. Completely covered in body paint, Lin will float across a 50-meter projection screen to create the illusion of a goddess walking through air and water.

The parades, fireworks and arts performances usually seen at such events were also present, but played a secondary role. The menu for the banquet included peanuts from Yunlin County, beef noodles, pineapple cakes, highland tea, and mango shaved ice, accompanied by pearl milk tea and vinegar-based fruit drinks. Some of the foods had been seen at the September 5th opening in a plastic and cloth version during a show representing the best of Taiwanese cuisine and culture. While the athletes tucked into the local delicacies, the 14,000 members of the public were able to exchange their tickets for food valued at NT$200 per person. Performances including Taiwanese opera from the famous Ming Hwa Yuan troupe, lion dances, drums, and some songs performances, from Aaron Kwok, a pop star from Hong Kong. He said with passion, "I witnessed a successful closing ceremony tonight. Just like I've said during the performance, the Deaflympics touches our heart and Taipei has touched the world."Anna Hung ICSD President impressed by Taipei http://en-mediazone.2009deaflympics.org/files/14-1053-6173,r72-1.php 17 September 2009 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20090923140740/http://en-mediazone.2009deaflympics.org/files/14-1053-6173%2Cr72-1.php 23 September 2009 A movie was also presented depicting the athletic highlights of the 2009 Summer Deaflympics. At the end, the flag was passed on to the Greek capital of Athens, the current host of the 2013 Summer Deaflympics. The fourth Deaflympics in the Asia-Pacific region will also be preserved in history as the best ever for host Chinese Taipei, which won 11 gold medals, 11 silvers and 11 bronzes. The country placed fifth for the number of medals won, with Russia coming first after collecting 29 golds, 40 silvers and 28 bronzes. Ukraine came second, South Korea third, and the People's Republic of China fourth. Chinese Taipei's strongest performances were on show in bowling, table tennis, and taekwondo, the Korean martial art that has also brought success to Taipei athletes at Olympic Games. One Taipei athlete alone, Chang Yao-chien, collected four golds in women's bowling. Nevertheless, the country still fell narrowly short of its self-set goal of 12 gold medals, which officials blamed on the limited source of talent available. On the political side of the sporting event, the People's Republic of China announced earlier it would be present for the closing ceremony, after having missed the opening, widely thought to have been planned that way to avoid the presence of President Ma Ying-jeou. The team's deputy leader, Zhao Sujing, told reporters that the 78 Chinese participants had to come together in Beijing from all parts of China first, and that problems with airline ticketing had caused them to miss earlier flights to Taipei. However, more than ten athletes were to be present in Taiwan to participate in the closing ceremony. The People's Republic of China won 12 golds, nine silver and 17 bronze medals, or double its amount at the Melbourne Deaflympics four years ago. Praising the organization, International Committee of Sports for the Deaf President Donalda Ammons used sign language to say "the Taipei Deaflympics were the best ever." She received the keys to Taipei and the honorary citizenship of the city from the hands of Mayor of Taipei Hau Lung-pin. He bestowed similar honors on other ICSD officials, including executive member and China team leader Yang Yang, the first-ever Chinese citizen to receive honorary citizenship in Taipei. Overall, most regarded the ceremony as a success. The only "unwelcome intrusion to an otherwise perfect ending was the deportation of a Spanish athlete for alleged sexual harassment of a volunteer."The China Post news staff.
