Olympian1010 7,470 Posted January 13, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I made a post in the general thread showing the teams for the team sports if you want to bump that here “Sport has the power to change the world.

RobtheAggie 337 Posted January 30, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) What age groups normally attend? Is it college students only? Looks like Biathlon will have the following events: 4 March Individual 20k 15k 6 March Sprint 7 March Pursuit 9 March Single Mixed Relay 10 March Mass Start Edited March 1, 2019 by RobtheAggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobtheAggie 337 Posted January 30, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I also saw that this is upcoming as well European Youth Olympic Games - in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Olympic host city Sarajevo & East Sarajevo. 9 to 16 February 2019 I would assume the better athletes will attend the two IBU Junior/Youth events in Sweden and Norway during the Winter University Games, but the European Youth Olympic Games has had some pretty successful people compete.

I don’t know. We’ll see. The Universiade is for college students. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Dunadan 1,103 Posted January 30, 2019 #6 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Students must also be 18-25 years old (in the year of the event)...so in this case it's for students born in 1994-2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted January 30, 2019 #7 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I guess they lowered the age level because of all those almost 30 year old Kazakhstani student-athletes. heywoodu, Olympian1010 and Gianlu33 3 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,540 Posted January 31, 2019 #8 Share Posted January 31, 2019 The answer to the question "Will Brazil compete in the Winter Universiade 2019?" has been changing a bit over the past half year. In the summer it was definitely, 'yes', which changed to 'no' because of financial problems. That became 'yes' and 'no', followed by a 'maybe' and now it's final: no. dcro 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

It's a shame really, January is barely even over and the athlete I'd obviously support most has already ended her season. Oh well, I'm gonna watch the events anyway If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
