On August 10 – 30, 2017, the XXIX World Summer Universiade took place in Taipei (Taiwan, RC).

For the first time in the history of our university our student was on the student team of Ukraine in these competitions. It was the third-year student of the department of physical education Andriy Fehetsyn. The wushu contest was held on August 27-29. In a fierce struggle Andrew took the 10th place, giving way only to representatives of the Asian continent.
