The 2017 Universiade in Taipei has come to an end, the Russian team took fourth place in the team competition at the 29th Summer World University Games.
6:07 31.08.2017
The 2017 Universiade in Taipei has come to an end, the Russian team at the 29th Summer World University Games took fourth place in the team competition, for the first time since 2001, in terms of the number of gold medals, it was not among the top three teams.
The Universiade lasted from August 19 to 30. During this time, 271 sets of awards were awarded in 21 sports, and more than 7.5 thousand athletes from 144 countries took part in the competitions. The Russian delegation included 348 athletes representing more than one hundred universities in the country, including student athletes from foreign universities.
The Japanese team took first place in the medal standings (37-27-37), the second position was taken by the South Korean team (30-22-30), and the Taiwanese team took third place (26-34-30). The Russian team won 25 gold, 31 silver and 38 bronze medals. In total, the Russians won 94 awards and in the total number of medals they were second only to the Japanese (101).
Russian athletes performed most successfully in rhythmic gymnastics, where they won seven gold, four silver and two bronze medals. They also showed good results in diving (4-3-3), where the country, in particular, was represented by world champions Ilya Zakharov and Evgeny Kuznetsov. The Russian team won the most awards in swimming - 16, but only two of them are gold (2-5-9).
The plight of track and field athletes
The last time the Russian team remained outside the top three was in 2001, when Beijing hosted the Universiade. In the Chinese capital, the Russians also finished fifth, behind the teams of Ukraine, Japan, the USA and China.
President of the Russian Student Sports Union Sergei Seiranov, commenting on the results of the competition, highlighted two reasons why the national team failed to maintain its leading position. The fact that Russian track and field athletes were unable to compete in Taipei was largely hindered. The ongoing suspension of the All-Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF) allowed the Russians to compete at the Universiade only in a neutral status, as happened at the recent World Athletics Championships, but a decision was made to abandon this idea. Although at the last Universiade, which was held in Kazan, track and field athletes brought the Russian team 29 medals, of which 12 were gold. In Taipei, 50 sets of medals were competed for in athletics.
“The second blow is that we knew that China was ignoring the Universiade, but that they would bring such “passengers,” Seyranov said about the second reason. “Imagine table tennis, and the Chinese only have one gold! As a result, all these medals that the Chinese were supposed to conquer (badminton, rollersports, table tennis), they played three Asian countries: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan".
Well-deserved victories
It was also understandable that the Japanese team, whose capital would host the Summer Olympic Games in three years, wanted to show its best side. “Japan has never shown such an attitude towards the Universiades before,” Seiranov noted. “It’s a shame that in the end they remained in fourth overall team place, everyone worked with great dedication - all members of the national team.”
This was also noted by the country's leadership. Throughout the tournament, the President of Russia noted the contribution to the success of the national team of Universiade winners.
Following the results of the competition, Vitaly Mutko, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation for Sports, Tourism and Youth Policy, sent a government telegram to the athletes. “You showed your best sporting qualities, confidently fought against worthy opponents, and brought well-deserved medals to Russia,” the telegram said.
