When no other country was willing to host the 5th International Winter Silent Games, Sweden offered to host at the last minute. The Congress immediately accepted Sweden’s application. The 5th International Winter Silent Games turned out brilliantly. The well-known ski coach, Bibbo Nordenskiöld acted as Games Secretary General in Åre. Prince Bertil was the Patronage of the Games.

The sports offered at the V International Winter Games for the Deaf were held in the disciplines of Alpine Skiing and Cross Country Skiing.
