During the last week of January, Lobachevsky University hosted the 19th Open University Basketball Games of the Volga Federal District. This time, due to the recent aggravation of the situation with the Covid infection, student teams from other regions of the Volga Federal District could not travel to Nizhny Novgorod, so representatives of only eight institutions took part in the competition. They included athletes from Alekseev State Technical University, Minin State Pedagogical University, Higher School of Economics, Dobrolyubov State Linguistic University, Privolzhsky Research Medical University, Nizhny Novgorod Academy of Internal Affairs, RANEPA and Lobachevsky University.

Eight men's and seven women's teams competed for the victory over the four days of the games at the UNN sports complex. After the arduous group stage, the finalists were determined who met to fight for their prizes on January 28.

In the women's third place match the victory went to the representatives of the Nizhny Novgorod Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the second place went to the girls of the Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University, and the team of Lobachevsky University won the first place.

In the men's finals, the bronze medal went to the Technical University team, and in the battle for the first place our young men lost to the strong rivals from the Pedagogical University. As a result, Lobachevsky University came second.

We are proud of our basketball players and congratulate them on their victory!
