Zuzanna Jasińska won the gold medal at the 2023 World University Games in Chengdu! Our student won the competition in the 2000 m lightweight singles rowing competition.

Zuzanna Jasińska not only won her Thursday qualifying run, but also achieved the best time of all the competitors. During the final held on Sunday, she turned out to be unbeatable again, leading from start to finish and finally won the gold medal with a time of 7:43.31. Italian Elena Sali (7:47.84) finished second, followed by German Julia Tertunte (7:50.42).

This is not the first success of our student. Among other achievements, in 2022 Zuzanna Jasińska won the gold medal of the Polish Senior Championships in the lightweight singles competition and was first in the European Youth Rowing Championships held in Hazewinkel, Belgium. She competed in the lightweight double sculls competition. This year, in May, she won gold at the Polish Academic Rowing Championships, competing in the women's singles category. She is also the winner of the third edition of the plebiscite for the 2022 Best Athlete at Wrocław University of Science and Technology.

At the World Games in Chengdu, our country was represented by 198 people who competed in thirteen out of eighteen disciplines. The results of our athletes can be followed on the website of the Academic Sports Association.

The event was originally scheduled to take place in 2021 in Yekaterinburg, Russia. The date had to be postponed to 2022 due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as a result of the Russian aggression in Ukraine, the International University Sports Federation (FISU) revoked Russia's rights to organize the summer university games. The new host was Chinese Chengdu. The competition ended on 8 August.
