Leonz Eder

FISU Vice President

You were the ‘driving motor’ of the idea of hosting a Summer Universiade in Kazan. And you did it, together with a great team, with the support from the federal level to the city level. All the delegations, all the FISU Family members have left Kazan already a few weeks ago. In their minds and hearts, in my mind and heart, we all have unforgettable memories.

The standard of the venues has been fantastic and all coaches and officials have complimented the organization of all the staff and volunteers that they encounter at every turn.
