The 2019 Winter Universiade (Шаблон:Lang-ru), the XXIX Universiade, was a multi-sport event for student and youth athletes which took place from 2 to 12 March 2019 in the Russian city of Krasnoyarsk. The 2019 Winter Universiade was the third Universiade hosted in Russia and second as an independent country. The first Universiade, when Russia was a Soviet Republic, was hosted by Moscow in 1973, whereas Kazan, capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, hosted the 2013 Summer Universiade. It is the first Winter Universiade hosted by Russia, and the second time that the event was held in a former USSR republic (the other being the 2017 Universiade in Almaty).

Krasnoyarsk was unanimously elected as the host city of the 29th Winter Universiade 2019 by an Executive Committee meeting in Brussels on 9 November 2013. At the Opening Ceremony the fire was lit by two of the event's ambassadors, bandy player Sergey Lomanov and former artistic gymnast Svetlana Khorkina.

For the first time in Universiade history, bandy and ski-orienteering were included as optional sports. Bandy had bigger spectator crowds than any other sport.[1] The budget of the 2019 Universiade in Krasnoyarsk equalled 67.8 billion rubles (1.021 billion US dollars): 43.3 billion rubles from the federal budget, 24.5 billion rubles from the budget of the Krasnoyarsk Krai. Russia won a record of 41 gold and 112 overall medals, while South Korea placed second with 6 and 14, respectively. Japan was third, winning 5 gold and 13 overall medals.

Bidding campaign and host city selection

On 1 September 2012, the bidding campaign for the right to host the 2019 Winter and Summer Universiades was launched. On the same day, the Russian Students Sport Union (RSSU) sent a letter to the President of the International University Sports Federation (FISU), Mr. Claude-Louis Galen, about Krasnoyarsk's intention to apply for the right to host the Winter Universiade 2019.[2] The choice of the city was primarily determined by the desire and capability of the territory of Krasnoyarsk to host the University Games.[3] The capital of the Krasnoyarsk Krai, it is one of the country's student centres with the Siberian Federal University located there.

On 3 April 2013, FISU, officially confirmed two candidate cities:[4]

During the whole year, each applicant worked on the preparation of application dosier. On 14 September 2013, Krasnoyarsk presented its Bidding Book at the FISU headquarters and received the status of a candidate city. The only competitor at this stage, the Canton of Valais, withdrew from candidacy.

On 9 November 2013, in Brussels, FISU members elected Krasnoyarsk as the host city of the 29th Winter Universiade 2019 by a closed vote.[5][6]

Brands

In accordance with the requirements of the International University Sports Federation (FISU), the logo of the Winter Universiade 2019 was made based on the Latin letter "U" – the first letter of the word "Universiade", with the city name in English and the year the Games take place – Krasnoyarsk 2019, the sequence number and the name of the event in English – 29th Winter Universiade, as well as 5 stars in blue, yellow, black, green and red colors – elements of the FISU logo.

The "U" letter in the logo of the Winter Universiade Krasnoyarsk 2019 symbolizes the ice block, the irregular facets of which demonstrate the severe character of Siberian nature, peaks of rocks and snow-covered slopes.[7]

Text of the three slogans of the 2019 Winter Universiade in the graphic standard of the games: a semi-bold, sans serif typeface used in bright fuchsia (pink) and icy blue. At the top, the alternate slogan "Welcome to Winter!" is printed on a single line with the word "Welcome" in fuchsia and "to Winter!" in blue. Directly below, the primary slogan "Real Winter" is vertically aligned in four rows along the left side, reading RE – AL – WIN – TER; "WIN" is printed in fuchsia and the remaining text in blue. In the lower right corner, a fuchsia rectangle is set on a 30-degree angle with left-aligned text reading "100% Winter" in a white, typewriter-style serif typeface is printed on two lines.

Slogans

The main slogan of the Games was Шаблон:Lang-ru or "Real Winter," revealing the essence of the Winter Universiade 2019 idea. It is not accidental that the first Winter Universiade in Russia took place in 2019 in Krasnoyarsk – the geographical center of Siberia. Russia is the biggest country in the world by area, with long and severe winters on the most part of its territory. Foreigners often associate Russia with "frost" and "winter."

Two additional slogans were officially used: Шаблон:Lang-ru or "100% Winter," which was used together with any of the slogans or independently as a chevron, stripe or patch on clothes; and Шаблон:Lang-ru or "Welcome to Winter!," which was used in advertising campaigns.[7]

Mascot

The official mascot of the Winter Universiade 2019 is "U-Laika", a Siberian dog of the Laika breed, the symbol of loyalty, friendliness, joy and unbridled energy. Laika is a friend always ready to help in hard times and support in striving to any, even the most trying goal.[8]

Countdown Clock

On 5 June 2016, the countdown clock of the Winter Universiade 2019 was launched on the Yenisei river embankment in Krasnoyarsk. The countdown started from 1,000 days. The screen shows the exact number of days, hours, minutes and seconds before the official opening ceremony of the Games in Krasnoyarsk.

On 18 October 2017, 500 days until the start of the Winter Universiade 2019, the countdown clock of the University Games was unveiled with the participation of Russian Minister of Sport Pavel Kolobkov, acting Chairman of the Regional Government Viktor Tomenko, Director General of the Executive Directorate of the 29th Winter Universiade 2019 Maxim Urazov, and Ambassadors of the Winter Universiade 2019 Svetlana Khorkina, Ilia Averbukh and Zlata Demyanova. The clock became the second art object of the Winter Universiade 2019 in Krasnoyarsk, and a new attraction site of the Funpark Bobrovy Log.[9][10]
