On 5 of October, the European University Sports Association held a meeting in Ljubljana with representatives of CUS Venezia to explore the possibility of adding EUSA Winter Championships to EUSA Sports Programme in 2023.

During the meeting in Ljubljana, CUS Venezia, represented by the President Mr Massimo Zanotto, the Vice-President Mr Ivano Sambo, the Treasurer Mr Franco Vianello Moro and the member of the board Mr Dario Bianchini, presented the detailed proposal of Val Zoldana to host the 1st edition of the European Universities Winter Championships. The conclusions and the report of the meeting will be presented and discussed during the next Executive Committee Meeting in Istanbul from 14-15 October, for further consideration.

Every year, CUS Venezia and CUSI are organizing the Italian National University Championship in Alpine Skiing, having the last edition held from March 14-16, 2022, in Val Zoldana, in the outstanding Dolomites scenery. Around 250 participants took part in the event, competing in Giant slalom and Slalom, in both male and female categories.

A parallel competition was organized for University Staff and Executives, where a delegation from the European University Sports Association was also present, observing the great organization and exploring the possibilities of introducing European Universities Winter Championships in the future.

Organising this event every year in Italy, besides celebrating winter university sport it also aims to create socialization and fun beyond the technical level.
EUSA thanks CUS Venezia for the initiative and the contribution to the development of University Sports.
