Do you know the Universiade(世界大学生运动会)? It is an international multi-sports(多项运动) event created by the International University Sports Federation(FISU) to improve sports and help the university students to make friends all over the world. The word "universiade" means "university" and "Olympiade". It is the Olympics specially held for university students from around the world.
The 1st Universiade was held in Torino, Italy, in 1959. It is generally held every two years. The 31st Universiade will be held in Chengdu in August, 2021. It's an honor for Chengdu to hold the Universiade, after Beijing, Taipei and Shenzhen in China.
