Athletics entry lists are out, most of the events are on the weaker side compared to 2015 thanks to both Russian ban and being after world championships (usually it made for a high quality tuneup just before worlds)

The strongest events will be the throws, particularly in both hammer competitions (the men's side especially) with Pawel Fajdek going to win his 4th universiade gold
