In his welcome speech, Prof. Dr. Ferenc Friedler, Rector and Vice President for Academic Affairs of Sz\u00e9chenyi University, said that sport is of great importance for their institution, which is involved in international competition, and that is why they are proud to host the event. „Sport is the best school to be successful in many other things, as it builds positive personality traits as well as physical fitness. Athletes have qualities that are also useful in academia. These include motivation, determination, perseverance and a focus on results and a willingness to put in the work to achieve them,” he said. <\/em>Prof. Dr. Ferenc Friedler also spoke about the excellent sports infrastructure of the Sz\u00e9chenyi University, which offers the opportunity for sports students to obtain a degree. „The uniquely located Gy\u0151r campus facilities, the Bishop’s Forest (P\u00fcsp\u00f6kerd\u0151), the River Danube (Mosoni-Duna) and its backwater, as well as the sports park offer students numerous opportunities to play sports. This is supported by our sports association, SZESE, and our close cooperation with the sports clubs in Gy\u0151r,” <\/em>he underlined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Dr. Lajos Mocsai, President of the Hungarian University and College Sports Association, said, „It is our common task and responsibility to overcome various diseases through sport and its effects. That is why I think it is important to organise more and more of these community-building events in our institutions.” In his speech, he expressed his appreciation to Sz\u00e9chenyi University, for its outstanding infrastructure and for having undertaken to host the festival. He also thanked the national sports federations, who take university sport to heart, the dedicated staff who prepare the competitors, and the student-athletes who value their health, competitive spirit and the representation of their university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
