Ikarus360 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Design of the podiums for the medal awards The stage is almost set for the opening. Rehearsers have moved to Kazan Arena to rehearse the show there. The following article confirms the presence of many russian pop stars for the closing ceremonies http://tatar-duslyk.ru/%D0%B7%D0%B5%D0%BC%D1%84%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%B0-%D0%B2%D1%8B%D1%81%D1%82%D1%83%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%82-%D0%BD%D0%B0-%D1%86%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B8-%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BA%D1%80%D1%8B%D1%82/ Zemfira will perform at the closing ceremony of the Universiade in Kazan Podcasts country and the world, Tatars in Russian and in mireAvtor admin Singer Zemfira will take part in the closing ceremony of the Universiade in Kazan. This was reported today by the Mayor of the capital of Tatarstan Ilsur Metshin during a media lunch on the 5th anniversary with the announcement of Kazan, the capital of the XXVII World Summer Student Games, says "Tatar-Inform". The mayor noted that the opening and closing ceremonies of the Universiade in Kazan engaged for 2.5 years, but all the secrets did not disclose. He only said that at the time of the Games will be used mostly classical art: an opera performance, large-scale lighting effects, colorful dance numbers. "The opening ceremony of the Universiade - is not only a holiday show, but also an opportunity to tell the world about our country, the city of Kazan, the people who live here," - said I. Metshin. The closing ceremony of the Universiade will be more addressed to the younger generation. In it, in particular, will be attended by such Russian stars like Zemfira, Garik Sukachev, "Mummy Troll" Christmas tree, "B-2". I think that I mentioned this before but Igor Krutoy (who did the surprisingly nice opening of the 2011 Winter Asiad in Kazakhstan) is doing this ceremony. In fact I tought at first that the Sochi guys would hire him to do their shows instead of the Kazan 2013 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 ^^ Athens 2004-like stage? o.o Uh oh, someone in this forum is not going to be very happy *shot* Notice on the last pic there's going to be an Atlanta'96-like stage in the stands for the flag poles I have to admit I didn't expected Krutoy to make a water stage like in 2004. I wonder how he'll use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deawebo Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 I have to admit Kazan Arena is slowlly becoming one of my favorite stadiums. I like that kind of design (ala Porto and Leipzig) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Oh yeah, migod, it's Athens 2004 all over again. How unoriginal can they be? Maybe there'll be a more fantastic use of the water stage than in '04. And I guess this might be a dress rehearsal of some sorts, too for Sochi. We'll see.

Ikarus360 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 ^^ See? What did I said? Ehem, no Baron. Igor Krutoy, as far as I know, is not involved in Sochi ceremonies, so I doubt this could be considered a dress rehearsal for the Winter Olympics.

Igor Krutoy, as far as I know, is not involved in Sochi ceremonies, so I doubt this could be considered a dress rehearsal for the Winter Olympics. I know that. (Didn't want to disappoint you.) But I am sure some of the key people who will work Kazan, will end up helping out Sochi. Just as some of the people who will work Brazil 2014 ceremonies will end up working Rio 2016. That's how it goes. Also, let me correct you. The "lake" in Athens is a masterstroke; it is how it was NOT used that I take issue with. Considering ATHOC spent so much for it, it was vastly under-used. That is one of my two major complaints about the Athens OC--not that there was a "lake."

cslopes54 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 ^ wow that was a ridiculous lighting . So what's this competition for? University athletes ? How important compared to Youth Olympics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 How important compared to Youth Olympics? It's essentially the same demographic as the YOGs, except that FISU is separate from the IOC; and participants in FISU must belong to an acredited college or university recognized by FISU; whereas an athlete at the YOGs need not belong to any school but must only be between 14-18. It's just the IOC's competitor to FISU, so that the Universiades do NOT get too big to rival the IOC products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardian seemed to be the only one following them until World Atlas took his job. Only for Kazan .. my main interest was the Aquatic Palace and the Stadium which will host a much important event two years later the FINA world championships we will see later how it goes with Gwangju 2015 Universiade.
