Meanwhile, for participants who have not yet won the title, he advised to keep trying to improve their abilities.

According to him, the important essence of a competition, apart from achieving the best performance, is also to expand the network of friendship and cooperation with participants from various existing universities, in order to achieve more benefits for the nation and state.

Although held virtually, the USU Games were successful with 306 participants, consisting of 108 national participants, namely participants from universities outside USU and 198 local participants who were USU students.

The Rector appreciated and expressed his gratitude for all the work that had been done by the committee team who succeeded in successfully organizing the USU Games III well.

“Although this year all sports are still competed virtually, all activities are able to run smoothly. Of course, this is made possible by the enthusiasm of all elements of the committee who work with passion and responsibility," said the Rector. (©ULC)
