1.1 Message from Claude-Louis Gallien, FISU President

              

 

 

 

                                                                                   

Dear friends,

 

You are all here in Hohhot today to attend or participate in the 2014 13^th World University Taekwondo Championship.

 

This event is part of FISU’s wonderful programme featuring 24 World University Championships in 2014; back in 2012, these championships had gathered 4,384 student athletes.

 

The World University Championships have been organized since 1962 under the auspices of FISU in 53 countries across the 5 continents, and they have gathered over 59,000 participants. In 2012, the number of World University Championships passed the 300 mark. There is no doubt that, in terms of number of participants, the 60,000 mark will be passed in 2014, making it a historic year for international university sport.

 

This year is marked by first editions in new disciplines. It is also worth noting that some of our members will host FISU events for the first time this year. After including basketball 3 x 3, netball and speed skating into its programme in 2012, FISU has added American football to the World University Championships programme this year. In addition, after Chile and Azerbaijan entered the widening circle of FISU event organizers, Belarus, Malaysia and Singapore will organize FISU events for the first time.

 

The 2014 World University Championships represent the 26^th edition of these competitions, which take place every two years in even-numbered years. They alternate with the Summer and Winter Universiade, which are organized in odd-numbered years.

 

The championships provide a large number of students, teachers and sports leaders from various backgrounds with a place, in addition to the Universiades, to meet and share their experiences and ideas. The success of the championships has regularly increased over time. This shows how dynamic FISU member National University Sports Federations are more and more of them have put themselves forward for the organization of a championship.

 

FISU actively supports those events and endeavours to satisfy students’ creativity and aspirations by regularly promoting innovative sports disciplines. The aim is to retain the spirit of play and encourage the development of an open and curious mind among university athletes.

 

As university events, these World University Championships aim at the highest technical level and Excellence, which are basic requirements in university. In this sense, your presence here is already a sign of success.

 

The International University Sports Federation, the National University Sports Federation of China and all the organizers wish to thank you for participating and hope that you will be warmly welcome here and find favourable conditions for the best practice of your sport.

 

In the name of FISU, I wish you an excellent Championship.

FISU President

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.2  Welcome Message from YAGN Liguo, Executive VP & Secretary-general of FUSC

Dear friends,

 

On the celebrating occasion of the 13^th World University Taekwondo Championship, I, on  behalf  of  the Federation  of  University  Sports of  China (FUSC),  would  like  to express my sincere gratitude to  FISU  for attributing  this event to  China, to warmly welcome all participants coming from afar and to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the Organizing Committee for the devoted efforts in preparing this championship.

 

It  is  our  great  honor  and  pleasure to  host  the  13^th World  University  Taekwondo Championship. Youth are the future of the world. Among  all  the  different  phases  in their  lives,  university  period  counts  as  the golden  stage  in  which  they  can  not  only learn  more academic knowledge,  but  also build  up  their  own  values. In this regard, university sports can help students in establishing innovative and persistent spirit, in the bonding and unity of a society and even in the advancement of human civilization. Therefore, we would like to devote ourselves to promote the development of university sports through exchange programs and help the university fulfill its social responsibilities. 

 

With the platform of this championship, I hope students all over the world can share their distinct ideas, exchange sports techniques and further deepen their friendship. Meanwhile, we  would  also  like  to  invite  all  the  foreign  friends  to know  more  about the host city and the Chinese culture through deeper communication.     

 

Finally, I  wish all  of  you a  wonderful  and enjoyable stay  in  China  and  wish  the championship a big success!
