The student of RUDN is the silver medalist of the XXIX Summer University Games
The student of Sochi Institute won a second place in weightlifting at the University Games in Taipei.
The XXIX Summer University Games took place in Chinese Taipei from 19 to 31 August. Fourth year student of the Department of Physical Culture of the Sochi Institute (branch) Vyacheslav Yarkin represented RUDN.
The weightlifter took part in the competition in the weight category up to 77 kg. In total there were athletes from 12 countries. During the competition Vyacheslav was leading, but there was a slight mistake in his tactics, which did not allow to win the gold medal.
The medals were divided as follows:
1st place – Kazakhstan
2nd place – Russia
3rd place – Canada
Vyacheslav’s awards:
- World Junior Championship (2016);
- Silver at the Summer Youth Olympic Games (2014);
- Bronze at Junior championship of weight-lifting (2017)
“One month before the University Games, I took part in the Tokyo Junior World Championship, where I improved my personal record that motivates me a lot. I had only a month for recovery and training before Taipei competition. In my opinion, silver is a worthy result,” the athlete says.
Now Vyacheslav has started to train hard for European Championships in Albania, which will be held in October.
Congratulations and good luck at future competitions!
“I am deeply convinced that if the goal is to change the world, journalism is the most effective weapon for this,” a master’s student of RUDN would readily agree with these words of the Oscar-winning British screenwriter. She believes that the profession of a journalist is the best way for a person with ambition and sharp tongue.
For a postgraduate student of RUDN Ulvi Ocaqli the University is part of a carefully planned career track. Studying is applied knowledge that is necessary for work.
An uncompromising desire to learn Russian led a Chinese student, Zhao Jielin, to a master’s degree, and then to a postgraduate course at RUDN. But in Russia, the girl chose international relations, not linguistics. As Zhao says, she has always wanted to discover new worlds and work in the field of communications. And that’s why advanced Russian could be an absolute advantage, because “international relations require excellent knowledge of the language”.
