The last two weeks of one of the biggest international sporting events for students - the FISU World University Games 2025, which took place in North Rhine-Westphalia from July 16 to 27, 2025 - passed by in the blink of an eye.

Following the half marathon of the World University Games, the DHM 10km road race took place at Lake Kemnadersee on 26.07.2025. The 16 RUB runners prevailed against the very good competition in the women's individual classification with Marie Winse in 3rd place and in the women's team classification in 1st place.

As part of the World University Games, University Sports Bochum hosted a special international visit: representatives of the Ukrainian delegation came to find out about the structures, services and special features of university sports in Germany.

As a cross-university consortium of the universities of Bochum, Duisburg-Essen, Folkwang, Bremen and Wuppertal, the lacrosse team, organized by chairwoman Carina Jadjewski, won the tournament at the adh-Open 2025.

It is a unique event that this year's FISU Games are taking place here in the Ruhr region.

The torch was received by Rector Martin Paul in the Rote Bete.
