On 4 April, the Volleyball Universiade concluded. The participants included eight women’s and nine men’s teams.
The VSU women's team won the gold medal in a game with the team of Voronezh State Agricultural University on March 27th. The VSU men's team was among the first five teams.
The teams are coached by a senior teacher from the Department of Physical Education and Sports of VSU, Elena Stcheglova.
“This year’s Universiade was of utmost importance for us. We wanted to prove our leadership. It was hard to compete for first place again, both physically and emotionally, because we realised that 90% of the opposing team were professional sportsmen who play for the regional team. However, our coach’s guidance and our team spirit helped us to find the weak spots of the other team and win”, said Anna Sukhova, a third year student from the Faculty of Law.
