I would like the Universiade to be taken more seriously, with more glamour and publicity, and with a greater deal of promotion by nationwide TV channels. We could actually market it as warm-up for the coming Olympics. Granted, it will be a competition of student athletes, but it still should be a high-profile event for the nation.

Russia needs a nationwide agenda that would emphasize sports, the way they have it in Canada and the United States. We should encourage children to do sports.

On the final day of the Universiade, July 17, Panorama’s directors invited the representatives of its partner organizations to the awards ceremony that took place in IBC. The partners were bestowed appreciation plaques for their assistance to ANO Sports Broadcasting as a host broadcaster of the 27^th Summer Universiade in Kazan and the run-up to the competitions.

The XXVII Summer Universiade in Kazan officially closed on July 17^th. As host broadcaster of this year’s World Student Games, Panorama provided an international HDTV signal, covering the competitions in seventeen of the Universiade’s twenty-seven official sports, and capturing twelve out of the twenty-one sporting facilities that hosted the Games.

Forty-seven creative and technical staff members of the Panorama Kazan office have completed a training course for TV professionals, and were presented with their certificates of completion on July 15 by the Republic of Tatarstan’s Prime Minister Ildar Khalikov, head of the Tatmedia Republican Mass Communications Agency Irek Minnakhmetov, and Panorama’s Director General Vasily Kiknadze.
