The International University Sport Federation (FISU) held the event in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, who will be hosting the Winter Universiade in 2019.

Over the course of three days, delegates from the Almaty 2017 Organising Committee spoke about their experiences of running the Games.

Among the subjects the Kazakhstani group talked about included the organising of medical care, venue management, sports programme and marketing.

Following the debrief, information discussed during the meeting will be taken by the Krasnoyarsk 2019 bosses to help them prepare for their edition of the Universiade.

“Almaty set high standards for Krasnoyarsk in hosting the Winter Universiade,” said Milan Augustin, FISU director for the Winter Universiade.

“It will be very difficult to reach, but I believe that, with such experience in organisation of international competitions as Krasnoyarsk has, they will not only reach Kazakhstan’s level, but will manage to hold the Winter Universiade 2019 with better quality.

“I am sure that the guests and participants of this event in Krasnoyarsk will not only see the beautiful modern sports venues, but also will feel hospitality of Siberian people and get acquainted with their traditions and culture.

“I see great professionals in the team that prepares the Games in Krasnoyarsk , which have the necessary skills and actively adopt good practices.”

Last year, FISU officials confirmed moving the 2019 Winter Universiade away from the Russian resort would be “impossible”, despite the revelations detailed in the McLaren Report regarding the nation’s anti-doping problems.
