The halfway point of the European Universities Games saw two fantastic events over the weekend. Both were organised on Piotrkowska Street, the heart of the city.

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.
