Taipei had to endure some serious competition. After all, his competitors were the capital of Brazil and Turkish Izmit. Both contenders had impressive experience in holding international competitions, including university games.

The mascot will be a black and gray bear with a gold medal around his neck. The victoriously uplifted paws of the "clubfoot" will have to "motivate athletes to dedication and striving for excellence." The competition also has a slogan: "For You - For Youth".

Who will be the leader of the medal standings of the Summer Universiade 2017
The Taiwanese team does not have enough stars from the sky, so it is hardly worth expecting a victorious sprint from the athletes of the host country. In previous draws, the top three were distributed as follows:
Gwangju (South Korea), 2015:
- South Korea;
- Russia;
- China.
Kazan (Russia), 2013:
- Russia;
- China;
- Japan.
Shenzhen (China), 2011:
- China;
- Russia;
- South Korea.
Belgrade (Serbia), 2009:
- Russia;
- China;
- South Korea.
Bangkok (Thailand), 2007:

Izmir (Turkey), 2005:

As can be seen from the list, the leaders are three countries: Russia, China and South Korea. Therefore, they are likely to be the leaders of the final table of the Summer Universiade 2017. However, politics can interfere in sports once again. There has already been a precedent when, in response to the Taiwanese government's harsh attacks, Chinese officials threatened to boycott the university games. Let's hope that political discord will bypass the upcoming Universiade!

So, now you know when the tournament will take place, how much competitive disciplines fans will see and who claims to win in unofficial standings. So buy tickets or even offer yourself as a volunteer. Fortunately, the registration of volunteers for the Universiade is still ongoing. Well, for those fans who do not have the opportunity to attend competitions in Taiwan with their own hands, there will always be sports channels that will broadcast round-the-clock television broadcasts!
