Hi everyone,
We hope you are safe and well. As the world slowly gets used to the new normal, we at FISU have also been busy, working from home, but trying to make sure the varied voices of university sport are heard regularly.
We hope you were able to watch the interview of FISU President Oleg Matytsin, where he told us how he is coping personally with the lockdown and also the impact of this situation on university sports. There was also some positive news for those who have been eager to hear it, so in case you missed it, you can watch the interview here. Meanwhile, here's a wrap of what's been happening in the special place where university meets sport!
Hang in there - this too shall pass...
