It’s the start of the new academic year and this is an opportunity for people who haven’t bought sports rights, to see what it’s like to sport at our facilities during those two weeks.’ The sports rights cost 94 euros for students the get them for a year.
People can follow and watch the olympics every day for two weeks at the Bongerd during the WURlimpics, from noon to eleven o’clock in the evening. The canteen at the sports complex also has a special menu during the Olympic Games.
