These are held Lake Placid and some nearby towns. During 2018, it was former Governor Mario Cuomo, announced that the village in New York was selected to host this year’s sporting event and that he hopes to showcase the city and North Country to an international audience.
Those who are eligible to enter range in age from 17 to 25 years old. This is the third time that the United States is one of the organizers of the World University Games, as it was previously in 1972 (for the first time) hosted by Lake Placid for the Winter Games and for the second time in 1993, hosted by Buffalo for the Summer Games.
