At this occasion, the FISU delegation was also invited to meet the President of the Tatarstan Republic, Mr Roustam Minnikhanov on Tuesday.
This one week visit is covered by many media. Besides important meetings with the OC Sports Department and the Minister of Sports, M. Marat Baraeev, with the Broadcast Department, the week is filled with many sports venues visits.
The FISU delegation was positively impressed by the development of the sports venues. The ones that are already finished are really from a very high standard and there is no doubt that the participants to the 2013 Universiade will find in Kazan top class infrastructures.
