Passing by: The food is so good that we put on weight

The first week of the European Universities Games Zagreb – Rijeka 2016 is behind us. The crowds are becoming smaller, and the organizers are ready for the next phase of the Games, the upcoming competitions and the athletes which are yet to arrive.

The guys from University North will compete in futsal, and we found out that this was their first time to participate in a competition as big as the European Universities Games Zagreb – Rijeka 2016.

‘We have just arrived from Varaždin, and they placed us in the 6th pavilion on the top floor, which is not much of a relief. Since it’s our first time at such a competition, we don’t have any big expectations, but we do not want to hide the fact that we’re secretly hoping to achieve a good result. It is obviously important for us to have fun too, we are already planning where to go tonight.’

Women basketball players of the University of Aveiro will soon be returning to Portugal, and they will remember Zagreb for the frequent parties in Roko, the great atmosphere, the friendly ladies in the canteen and good organization.

‘The ladies in the canteen were trying to satisfy all our wishes with a smile on their face.We think we have even put on weight this week. There is simply too much food, which is of course a positive thing. Besides the hall where we had played, we visited the city center and walked through Zagreb Old Town. It’s very nice here, and we were already used to the heat.
