July 9, 2015

The Universiade Gwangju 2015 kicked off on July 3 as university student athletes from around the world descended on the South Korean city. “Universiade” is a combination of the words “university” and “Olympiad”. The multi-sport event has the stated mission to develop the education and culture of university students worldwide through sports. It takes place every two years and is split into summer and winter events. It is a premier world athletic competition for young athletes, as almost half (48 percent) of Olympic medalists were also Universiade medalists.
