During a briefing session on the second day of the delegation from the International University Sports Federation (FISU) in Taipei, the mascot of the 2017 Summer Universiade in Taipei Formosan black bear ‘Bravo’ appeared at the meeting room to greet the delegates.
The eight-member delegation from FISU and the Summer Universiade Supervision Committee is led by President Oleg Matytsin. The delegation is accompanied by the Taipei Organizing Committee and Chief Executive Su Li-chiung.
Bravo shook hands with each of the delegates at the meeting and asked the president to join him for a short dance. The arrival of the mascot created a relaxing moment for the group’s busy schedule.
The FISU delegation visited the construction site of the Athlete’s village in Linkou to inspect the progress of constructions, as well as the model rooms for athlete dormitories. Special attention was dedicated to the material and the layout of beds and other furniture. The members moved about the model rooms to ensure ample room for movement and tried out the bed mattresses.
In the afternoon, the CSU members of the delegation shared their experiences on international games and expressed their opinions regarding issues such as media broadcast and promotion activities. They suggested that the local organization committee should take advantage of new media platforms to disseminate information on the 2017 Summer Universiade in Taipei to college students around the world.
