The 2013 Winter Universiade, the XXVI Winter Universiade, is a multi sport winter event which will take place in Trentino, Italy between 11 to 21 December 2013. Originally, it was planned take place in Maribor, Slovenia, but the Government of Slovenia overturned its decision to partially fund the project due to financial problems in February 2012. In March 2012, the International University Sports Federation decided that it would organise the Universiade elsewhere.
FISU officially announced that the Trentino region of Italy would host the event.
Famous quotes containing the word winter:
“There was never a revolution to equal it, and never a city more glorious than Petrograd, and for all that period of my life I lived another and braved the ice of winter and the summer flies in Vyborg while across my adopted country of the past, winds of the revolution blew their flame, and all of us suffered hunger while we drank at the wine of equality.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
