I meet with EUSA (European University Sports Association) President Adam Roczek on the occasion of the European Universities Games (EUG) taking place in Lodz. This great celebration of sport, opened on a grand scale and bringing together 5,000 participants from 37 countries, is therefore an opportunity to talk about student sport, its development and prospects, as well as to assess the organisation of the championships in Lodz.

The European Universities Games opened with a ceremony that had all the elements worthy of a major sporting and academic event.

For the athletes, the greatest thrill and joy was walking across the tarmac of the Atlas Arena, for Rector Prof. Jóźwik it was a rain of confetti that fell on the stage when he cut the ribbon, symbolising with this act the opening of the Games, and for the others it was a wonderful music and film show.

The clock set in a central location in Łódź will soon end the countdown and the world's biggest sporting event of the year will begin. More and more international teams are coming to the campus of Lodz University of Technology. The official opening of the European Universities Games (EUG) will take place on Sunday 17 July at the Atlas Arena.
