Fortune smiled on another swimmer from the Polytechnic, a student of the Civil Engineering Institute, Alexander Shchegolev – he became a prize winner of the 32nd World Universiade, which took place in Germany. Russian athletes competed under the flag of the International University Sports Federation (FISU).
Alexander won silver in the 4x200m relay as part of the team (7:08.33) and bronze in the 100m freestyle (48.34 sec).
The World Universiade was the final start of this season. Of course, not everything worked out, but it was very nice that I managed to take prize places and then see the name of my university at the awards ceremony, – the athlete shared.
