The University of South Bohemia has confirmed that its students excel not only in lecture halls but also on the sports field. From this year’s Czech University Games, USB representatives are bringing home a fantastic collection of 14 medals, dominated by gold and silver.
This achievement is all the more valuable considering that last year the university team managed to win only two silver medals. This year’s progress is therefore truly exceptional.
Overall medal tally:
- 5× Gold
- 7× Silver
- 2× Bronze
