International Sports Day
In a display of true sportsmanship and flexed muscles, international students from ten institutes competed in the 32nd International Education Sports Day on 10 April in the Sports Center at the University of Twente in Enschede. Over 600 students from all over the Netherlands competed in various sports, including volleyball, basketball, badminton, table tennis, soccer, chess, darts and running. The annual competition has grown in popularity since its beginnings in 1980. Just ten years ago only 350 student athletes competed in the event. Clinching the victory on Saturday, Rotterdam’s Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies won first place. This year’s host, the university’s ITC Faculty, came in a respectable second place and Delft University of Technology earned third place.
