The athletes of CUS Mo.Re, including many male and female students participating in the USE - Unimore Sport Excellence programme, racked up a full complement of medals at the 2023 National University Championships, which ended on 25 June in Camerino, with seven gold, six silver and two bronze medals.
A top-level event, with many athletes taking part in Italian and European championships, ahead of the World University Games to be held in Chengdu, China, from 28 July to 8 August.

"I would like to thank the male and female students who, in this exam period, still wanted to compete by wearing the Unimore and Cus More jersey and achieved truly outstanding results. I think that a university can also gain importance and visibility on the national scene through the medals it manages to win at university sports championships. For some years now, Unimore has been achieving previously unthinkable goals in the field of sport, encouraging the dual careers of student-athletes through the USE - Unimore Sport Excellence project”, commented Prof. Isabella Morlini, the Rector's Delegate for Sport.
