i think Korea does not have any chance coz of Daegu, Smirne, Bangkok and Shenzhen...! Russia do have chances...Moscow hosted the SU in 1073 very long ago. Spain had Palma99 and, as far as I know, was not a good organization.

The Universaides are THAT OLD? And old Moscow already had sports venues back then?

does it automatically mean that Maribor will be the 2013 Winter Universiades host cities, not having any contender????

In theory, it could also be not approved. Taken into account, though, that Maribor was a candidate for 2011, and that the call was very tight (in favour of Erzurum), I certainly hope this will not be the case.

Slovenia has hosted plenty of winter sports events (quite a few in Maribor), so I believe we can do the Winter Universiade very well. Let's hope the decision makers share my opinion

Dear cesco_82, thank you for your vote of confidence!

Since Italy hosted the Winter edition of the universiade in 2007 and 2003 (and before that in 1985, 1975 and 1966), we also had opportunities to learn from them.

Our other neighbor - Austria - has also hosted Winter universiade in 2005 (and 1968 before that), so we have had plenty of chances to watch and learn from a near-by

Will keep you posted on the development of the selection...

Since the Slovenian bid was the only official one for 2013, it is pretty much in the works now.

Anyway, the low number of bids should be alarming for FISU ...

Since there are many winter sport events in Slovenia (ski junping in Planica, skiing in Maribor and Kranjska Gora) i think Slovenia hosts a great Universiade.

btw my grandfather grew up in Maribor so good luck and greeting from Austria
