The competitions included non-traditional disciplines with original names such as \u201cFast and Furious\u201d, \u201cChicken Fishing\u201d, \u201cHulk’s Grip\u201d, \u201c36th Chamber of Shaolin\u201d, \u201cBotanical Duck Hunt\u201d, \u201cLost in Space\u201d and \u201cIndian Biathlon\u201d, which were not only about sporting feats, but also fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most successful athletes were awarded medals after the competitions, presented by Vice-Rectors Dr. h. c. prof.

Interesting prizes were handed over to the winners by the Vice-Rectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The health and vitality of the participants of the event were tested not only by sports activities, but also by doctors from the University Hospital L. Pasteur Ko\u0161ice, who offered the employees of our University the opportunity to undergo various preventive examinations. For example, measuring of blood pressure, blood glucose level, body fat percentage, calculation of BMI or examination of birthmarks using a dermatoscope, detection of grip strength with a dynamometer or diagnosis of correct posture and feet with a plantoscope – a device for detecting flat feet. The results of the preventive examinations were often very useful, for example, the examination of birthmarks revealed up to 14 dysplastic changes, and even a suspicion of malignant melanoma with a recommendation for removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Participants could enjoy refreshments in the form of tasty goulash, prepared by the staff of Student Dormitories and Canteens of UPJ\u0160, and chilled beer and non-alcoholic beverages for all participants. The pleasant atmosphere was completed by music and spoken word by members of the Student Radio Ko\u0161ice – \u0160tuRKo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to all who participated in the organization of the event as well as to the staff who contributed to its smooth running and pleasant atmosphere.
