Malaysia Head Into 2025 WUG With 'All For One, One For All' Mindset
By Ahmad Nazrin Syahmi Mohamad Arif ESSEN (Germany), July 15 (Bernama) -- The cream of Malaysia's top varsity athletes are all primed for action in the 2025 World University Games (WUG) at the Rhine-Ruhr here from July 16-27. A total of 64 national athletes - 39 men and 25 women - will compete in artistic gymnastics, badminton, archery, athletics, swimming and taekwondo at the biennial Games, hosted by the International University Sports Federation (FISU). bootstrap slideshow The WUG 2025 is one of the biggest Games to be held this year, with an estimated 9,000 athletes and officials from over 100 countries converging on the five major cities in the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan area, namely Bochum, Duisburg, Essen, Mülheim and Hagen, as well as the city of Berlin. The Rhine-Ruhr holds a long heritage in the university sports landscape. Before the emergence of the modern WUG in 1959, Germany had hosted the Third International University Sports Week in Dortmund in August 1953, which became one of the early symbols of the revival of European sportsmanship after World War II. Duisburg, one of the main venues, is also remembered for successfully hosting the 1989 edition, just 153 days after replacing the original hosts, Sao Paolo of Brazil. The 2025 WUG's official mascot, called Wanda, is a peregrine falcon, which is renowned for recording the fastest speed in a downward dive (called a stoop) at over 300 kilometres (km) per hour. This beautiful bird not only symbolises speed and agility, but is also the most widespread species in the world, living in a variety of environments, including urban and post-industrial areas along the Rhine and Ruhr Rivers.
