Norwegian University Games in Trondheim

From February 24th to 27th, the sports club at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNUI) in Trondheim successfully hosted the Norwegian University Games “Studentlekene” (SL2010). More than 1,800 students participated in 18 different sports. The sport event was a great success and was accomplished without any significant problems. Not only the traditional sports as Futsal, Volleyball, Cross-Country and Handball was represented. Students also competed in Simulator Golf and “Koiefemkamp” (pentathlon in typical wildlife exercises). Last time this event was held around 1,000 students competed in 6 sports. The increase in participation and sports shows how this event has grown in the last years, as well as the potential of this event.
