Sport in the university world is taking an exciting course: Kevin Reim, a shot putter from WSG Schwarzenberg-Wildenau, is ready to demonstrate his skills at the FISU World University Games 2025 in the Rhine-Ruhr area. Studying at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, Reim will make his debut at these prestigious games, which will take place in the region from July 16th to 27th, 2025. The last few days have been anything but relaxing for him, marked by stressful motorway journeys and numerous competitions.
In order to prepare optimally, Reim took part in an important shot put competition in Biberach on Monday, where he achieved an impressive distance of 18.76 meters in his last attempt. This result shows that the athlete is in shape and ready when it matters most. Freie Presse reports that Reim is looking forward to competing in an international competition.
A big event
This year's World University Games promise to be a real spectacle. According to Leichtathletik.de, Germany will take part with a record-breaking delegation of 305 athletes. This will make this line-up the largest in the history of the event, and the athletics will take place in Bochum-Wattenscheid from July 21st to 27th, 2025.
The German selection includes numerous talents who have already made a name for themselves. Athletes like Simon Batz and Merlin Hummel even have Olympic experience, while Rosina Schneider and Mika Sosna are promising young athletes. Seeing opportunities like this is a real motivation for athletes like Reim. The athletes emphasize how important it is to face international competition and gain valuable experience.
Important topics in focus
The FISU World Conference 2025 will also take place as part of the games and will deal with topics such as sustainability and (mental) health in sport. Rhein Ruhr 2025 emphasizes that the event focuses on important aspects that are important to students and athletes. The focus here is on mental health, pressure to perform and the challenges of work-life balance.
Sustainability initiatives and holistic wellbeing in sport are topics that are becoming increasingly relevant in our changing world. The conference aims to develop strategies that promote both sports performance and athlete well-being. This is where foundations are laid to create healthier and more balanced communities.
So it's not just about top sporting performance, but also about the well-being of the athletes. Kevin Reim is ready to contribute to this big event. With his commitment and the support of his university, he is well positioned to achieve top performances in the shot put ring and take advantage of the opportunity to network with top international athletes.
