For the eleventh time in a row, the Silesian University of Technology is the winner of the general classification of the Silesian Academic Championships series. The students' successes also ensured that our University won the medal classification!

In the twenty-first century, the Silesian University of Technology failed to take first place in the general classification of the Silesian Academic Championships only three times. Let us remind you that last year our University was recognized as the most successful in the 50-year history of the Silesian Academic Championships.

This year's season, athletes from the Silesian University of Technology took podium places in as many as thirty-four out of forty-five disciplines. They won fourteen gold medals, twelve silver medals and eight bronze medals, which made them the best in the medal classification.

- It's a tradition that we are the strongest. This is a very important success because the competition is very strong. The competition was long, hard and very interesting - says Prof. Krzysztof Czapla, director of the SUT Sports Centre. - I am happy that we manage to win medals in both individual and team competitions. The basis of this success is the good work of teachers from the Sports Centre with students, who inspire them and encourage them to train and participate in competitions. It is not easy because more and more students work. However, thanks to the involvement of teachers, many young people have a chance to develop in sports.

In the general classification - taking into account the points for all final results - our University was seven points ahead of the University of Silesia in Katowice and the Medical University of Silesia, scoring a total of 696 points.

The competition between the Silesian University of Technology and the University of Silesia was already fierce last year. This time it was decided literally in the last discipline played, i.e. mountain biking, in which the representatives of our University won and retained first place in the "general classification".

In addition to mountain biking, athletes from the Silesian University of Technology also stood on the highest step of the podium in sports bridge, darts, rowing ergometer for women and men, men's 3x3 basketball, men's skiing, chess, women's tennis, women's and men's table tennis, floorball, men's sports climbing and sailing. . Congratulations!
