Tsinghua recently won the bid to host the World University Shooting Championship (WUSC) 2008.

Tsinghua’s host-bid delegation, led by senior administrator Yang Zhenbin, started the application process for the 2008 WUSC at the meeting of the executive committee of the Federation Internationale du Sport Universitaire (FISU) in Turkey in early August.

George E. Killian, president of FISU, said that Tsinghua’s application statement clearly and vividly emphasized the long tradition of sports at Tsinghua, the university’s outstanding sports facilities, and the school’s strong desire to host the 2008 event.

Tsinghua will host the 2008 WUSC together with the Chinese University Sports Federation.
