Dear Friends

On behalf of the International University Sports Federation (FISU),
I am very happy to welcome you to the 30th Winter Universiade
2021 in Lucerne.

As the Games approach, there is one thing that is certain: the
challenges in reaching this point of preparedness have been
without precedent. For us, together with the Organising Commit-
tee to have made it this far is proof of huge determination on the
part of so many, delivering on the promise of international univer-
sity sport for thousands of young athletes. All of us at FISU are
very much aware of the efforts that have been required from all
involved to get this far, and are very much aware of the continued
effort that will still be required before we are able to safely and
successfully conclude the Lucerne 2021 Winter Universiade.

This “Technical Handbook” represents a part of that creativity and
effort. It has been created to provide you with comprehensive
information about the competitions that will help you contribute
to the success of the 30th Winter Universiade. We are deeply
grateful to the Organising Committee of the Lucerne 2021 Winter
Universiade and the supporting public authorities for their contin-
ued commitment to deliver an exceptional alpine experience. I
personally am more than happy that the Winter Universiade is
finally returning to my home country after 1962 in Villars and will
give you all a warm welcome according to the motto of “Welcome
Home”. FISU remains here to help you, too.

Days of friendly sport and sunlit mountains lie ahead. Please
accept my best wishes and sincere gratitude for your part in
making that welcome vision a reality.

Best wishes,
Leonz Eder
Acting President of the International University Sports Federation

Dear Technical Delegates and Officials,
Dear Delegations,
Dear Friends of winter sports

Welcome to the 30th Winter Universiade here in Central Switzer-
land and Grisons – Welcome Home! The fact that the Winter
Universiade had to be postponed by a year due to the coronavirus
pandemic has done nothing to diminish the anticipation and
excitement surrounding the event! Winter sports have a long
tradition in this country, especially in Central Switzerland. Switzer-
land is also home to the International University Sports Federation
(FISU), which is headquartered in Lausanne. And you too, ladies
and gentlemen, should feel at home here. In close cooperation and
with a great deal of passion and expertise, the six Central Swiss
cantons of Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden, Nidwalden and Zug, as
well as the Host City of Lucerne, have done everything possible to
ensure that the approximately 1600 participants from numerous
nations will find ideal and, in particular, fair conditions for the
competitions here. Sustainability was vital to us: our well-suited
existing sports facilities are available for the competitions. We
have only carried out modernisation measures where necessary.
Sooner or later, these will benefit not only the top athletes but
also the local population and tourists in particular. It was also
important to us that we support the compatibility of sport and
education by organising the Universiade. As a winter sports
destination and educational location in Central Switzerland with
the University of Lucerne, we are ideally suited to this. I would like
to express my sincere thanks to all those involved for their great
commitment to the organisation and implementation of the
Lucerne 2021 Winter Universiade. I am very pleased to welcome
you here and wish you exciting, successful and accident-free
competitions and an unforgettable stay. This technical handbook
is intended to provide you with all the information you need to
find your way around. Welcome Home!

Guido Graf, Cantonal Councillor Lucerne
President of the association «Winter Universiade Lucerne-Central
