22-year-old skier Lilia Vasilyeva won 5 medals (3 gold and 2 silver) at the Universiade in Almaty.
Gold medals in relay 3x5 km, 15 km mass start in classic style and 5 km individual race, silver - in the 5 km pursuit race and in the individual sprint.
The 5th year student of the Samara Law Institute of the Russian Armed Forces began to engage in cross-country skiing in the fifth grade. In 2014 she became the champion of Russia in cross-country skiing, and in 2015 at the Winter Universiade in Slovakia she took third place in the individual race, and the whole world learned about her.
Lilya studied athletics when Nastya Osipova called her to the ski lodge. The winter sport turned out to be closer to the girl, and this is how her ski career... The first time was not easy. In the 7th grade, Lilya got into the Udmurtia national team, then the most significant victories for her began. She had to attend school infrequently, but she passed her final exams well, and is now studying to become a lawyer. However, today Lily's profession is ski race.
Like any athlete, Lilya dreams of becoming Olympic champion... When asked to fantasize about how the Universiade differs from the Olympics, she replies: “It seems to me that they are similar only in a large number of different types of competitions.
Lily is rarely at home. Between training camps, it is more convenient for her to train in Izhevsk. And when he does come to Mozhga, he asks his mother to cook something tasty, for example, baked goods or other concoctions. V free time Lilya loves to read.
At a press conference after the race, Lilia said: “Not so long ago, when there were no results, I wanted to finish skiing, go on maternity leave. When I went to the Games, I was counting on a medal, but I didn’t expect such a result. When I won the first race, I immediately fulfilled the standard of an international master of sports. I was so happy.
Here, except for the team, there is no one here, and my mother is at home. She is late for work, takes time off to watch my competition. My boyfriend Ravil and his parents also watch all my races. They worry about me. Immediately after the end of the race, they call and congratulate. I will also have the opportunity to speak at the Student Games. Moreover, now they will be held in my homeland, in Russia. It became known that FISU changed the rules, and in the future athletes under the age of 25 will be able to take part in the Universiades. If everything goes well, I can just do it. "

Winter Universiade 2017- The 28th World Winter Universiade will be held in the Kazakh city of Almaty from January 28 to February 8, 2017.
Applicants and city selection
Claimed for the right to hold:
However, a week before the announcement of the results, due to the fact that the right to host the 2013 Winter Universiade passed to Trentino, as well as due to the economic crisis, the Italian government decided to withdraw his candidacy:“Given the difficult economic situation in Italy and the high financial obligations to the International Federation at the moment, the Council of the Autonomous Province of Trento does not see an opportunity to raise funds for the Universiade in 2017 and therefore withdraws the candidacy of our city”
The official decision to hold the Universiade in Almaty was made at the vote of the International University Sports Federation (FISU) on November 29, 2011, held in Brussels (Belgium).
Thus, due to the absence of competitors, Alma-Ata became the capital of the 28th winter Universiade 2017.
As hosts, an additional sport is included in the games program - bandy.

Earlier it was reported that Kazakhstan will spend $ 950 million to host the 2017 Universiade.

Excerpt from Winter Universiade 2017
Taking smaller and smaller units of motion, we only approach the solution of the problem, but never reach it. Only by admitting an infinitely small value and an ascending progression from it to one-tenth and taking the sum of this geometric progression, we achieve a solution to the problem. A new branch of mathematics, having achieved the art of handling infinitesimal quantities, and in other more difficult issues Movement now gives answers to questions that seemed insoluble.This new, unknown to the ancients, branch of mathematics, when considering the issues of motion, admitting infinitely small quantities, that is, those under which the main condition of motion (absolute continuity) is restored, thereby correcting that inevitable mistake that the human mind cannot but make when considering instead of continuous movement, individual units of movement.
Exactly the same thing happens in the search for the laws of historical movement.
The movement of mankind, proceeding from the countless number of human arbitrariness, is carried out continuously.
The comprehension of the laws of this movement is the goal of history. But in order to comprehend the laws of continuous movement of the sum of all the arbitrariness of people, the human mind allows arbitrary, discontinuous units. The first method of history is that, taking an arbitrary series of continuous events, consider it separately from the others, whereas there is and cannot be the beginning of any event, and always one event continuously follows from another. The second method is to consider the action of one person, a king, a commander, as the sum of the arbitrariness of people, while the sum of the arbitrariness of people is never expressed in the activity of one historical person.
Historical science in its movement constantly accepts smaller and smaller units for consideration and in this way strives to get closer to the truth. But no matter how small the units that history accepts, we feel that the assumption of a unit separated from another, the assumption of the beginning of some phenomenon and the assumption that the arbitrariness of all people is expressed in the actions of one historical person are false in themselves.
Any conclusion of history, without the slightest effort on the part of criticism, disintegrates like dust, leaving nothing behind, only due to the fact that criticism chooses a larger or smaller discontinuous unit as an object of observation; to which it always has the right, since the historical unit taken is always arbitrary.
Only by admitting an infinitely small unit for observation - the differential of history, that is, homogeneous drives of people, and having achieved the art of integrating (taking the sum of these infinitely small ones), can we hope to comprehend the laws of history.
The first fifteen years of the 19th century in Europe represent an extraordinary movement of millions of people. People abandon their usual occupations, strive from one side of Europe to the other, rob, kill one another, triumph and despair, and the whole course of life changes for several years and represents an intensified movement, which first goes on increasing, then weakening. What is the reason for this movement or according to what laws did it take place? The human mind asks.
Historians, answering this question, tell us the deeds and speeches of several dozen people in one of the buildings of the city of Paris, calling these deeds and speeches the word revolution; then they give a detailed biography of Napoleon and some sympathetic and hostile persons to him, talk about the influence of some of these persons on others and say: this is why this movement happened, and these are its laws.
But the human mind not only refuses to believe in this explanation, but directly says that the method of explanation is not correct, because in this explanation the weakest phenomenon is taken as the cause of the strongest. The sum of human arbitrariness made both the revolution and Napoleon, and only the sum of these arbitrariness endured and destroyed them.
“But whenever there were conquests, there were conquerors; whenever there were coups in the state, there were great people, ”history says. Indeed, whenever the conquerors appeared, there were wars, the human mind answers, but this does not prove that the conquerors were the causes of wars and that it was possible to find the laws of war in the personal activities of one person. Whenever I, looking at my watch, see that the hand has approached ten, I hear that the gospel begins in a neighboring church, but from the fact that every time that the hand comes at ten o'clock when the gospel begins, I I have no right to conclude that the position of the arrow is the reason for the movement of the bells.
Whenever I see a locomotive moving, I hear a whistling sound, I see a valve opening and wheels moving; but from this I have no right to conclude that the whistle and movement of the wheels are the reasons for the movement of the locomotive.
The peasants say that in late spring a cold wind blows because the bud of the oak unfolds, and indeed, every spring a cold wind blows when the oak unfolds. But although the cause of the cold wind blowing during the unfolding of the oak is unknown to me, I cannot agree with the peasants that the cause of the cold wind is the reversal of the bud of the oak, because the force of the wind is outside the influence of the bud. I see only the coincidence of those conditions that occur in every phenomenon of life, and I see that, no matter how much and no matter how detailed I observe the hand of the clock, the valve and wheels of a steam locomotive and the bud of an oak tree, I don’t recognize the reason for the evangelism, the movement of the locomotive and the spring wind. ... To do this, I must completely change my point of view and study the laws of motion of steam, bells and winds. History should do the same. And attempts to do this have already been made.
"Conducting competitions international level- not a way to replenish the state treasury. This is the way to raise the authority and prestige of the country. However, there are countries that have managed to derive economic benefits from them. For example, French experts recently estimated that Euro 2016 brought in 1.2 billion euros in profits.
Now our domestic experts are also calculating how much it cost to host the Student Games. We also decided to find an answer to the question - what did the Universiade give our country?
We must pay tribute to the leadership of our country, which, despite the global financial crisis, took upon itself such responsibility as the organization and holding of the World Student Games, in which Kazakhstan hosted more than 2 thousand athletes from 57 countries of the world.
Kazakhstanis had to work hard to adequately host and host the Games. Apart from the members of the Organizing Committee, more than 3 thousand volunteers were involved to serve the guests of Almaty, and 7.5 thousand security specialists were involved in ensuring their safety (4,700 police officers, 1,000 military personnel, 1,400 employees of security firms, 50 dog handlers).
And what load did the Universiade bring to the economy of Kazakhstan and what is the impact of the world sports forum the city of apples?
Not expenses, but investments!
According to the budget program of the city planning department of the city of Almaty "Planning and construction of facilities for the 2017 Winter Universiade", it was planned to build three sports facilities to hold sports competitions and improve the appearance of the city - an ice palace for 12 thousand seats, an Athletic village for 5 thousand seats (in Alatau district) and an ice arena for 3 thousand seats in the Medeu district.
In 2014, 13 billion tenge was allocated from the Almaty budget for the construction of these facilities, in 2015 - 44 billion, in 2016 - 14.9 billion. According to the results of three years, about 73 billion tenge was spent.
In addition, for the development of design and estimate documentation for these facilities and the conduct of construction and installation work, the following was allocated from the republican budget:
- in 2014 - 12.2 billion tenge,
- 2015 - 41.47 billion,
- 2016 - 9.27 billion tenge.
In just three years, 63 billion tenge ($ 190 million) was spent.
Also, the following was allocated to finance transfers of design and construction from the local budget:
- in 2014 - 0.872 billion tenge,
- 2015 - 3.45 billion,
- 2016 - 5.713 billion
In total - 10 billion tenge ($ 30 million).
As a result, the construction costs of the Universiade facilities in Almaty amounted to 146 billion tenge ($ 442 million)
These are capital costs, which, like the costs of hosting the Games, are not reimbursed.
The fate of sports facilities
For comparison - to conduct Summer Universiade In 2013, 300 billion rubles were spent in Kazan, and the profit amounted to only 10.8 billion rubles. However, the Russians realized that most of the costs were invested in the future of the city. This means that we must understand that the facilities built in Almaty will continue to serve for the benefit of Kazakhstanis and the development of sports.
These expenses are investments in the development of mass sports. We are sure that after the end of the Universiade the demand for the ice rink and ice arena will be high. And the named sports objects can be adapted for competitions in summer species sports. The Almaty Arena, which can accommodate 12 thousand spectators, is a godsend for grandiose cultural events. Therefore, one cannot say that the funds spent on the construction of these facilities are wasted.
It is clear that the Athletic Village, which consists of 8 multi-storey residential buildings, will not be empty. The facility, equipped with a full-fledged infrastructure, will become comfortable housing for 1.7 thousand families. 1,748 apartments in the Athletic Village will be leased out with the option to purchase them later. Thus, in the next 8 years, 40% of investments in the amount of 15.5 billion tenge will be returned.
This will reduce the queue for housing in Almaty by 10 percent.
In addition, the administrative part of the Athletic Village is supposed to be used for organizing various exhibitions and press conferences.
Operating expenses
Initially, the amount of funds provided for the Universiade was planned in the amount of 32 billion tenge. However, after the order of Elbasy to conduct the Games economically, it was decided to reduce these costs to 17 billion tenge ($ 51.5 million).
The motor transport to serve the participants of the Universiade (about 520 units) was rented, the costs of holding promotions, cultural and entertainment events were reduced.
The cost of organizing celebrations dedicated to the opening and closing of the Universiade was reduced to 1.2 billion tenge ($ 3.6 million).
if we add up the operating budget and the construction costs, then the expenses for the Universiade amounted to $ 500 million
For comparison: the total budget of the 2019 Winter Universiade in Krasnoyarsk is planned in the amount of 51.8 billion rubles ($ 863 million at the rate of 1 dollar = 60 rubles). 44.5 billion rubles ($ 741 million) have been allocated for the construction and repair of sports facilities, the operating budget is 7.3 billion rubles ($ 121 million).
What amount has replenished the treasury?
The next question is - what profit did the Universiade bring to the country? Akim of Almaty Bauyrzhan Baibek, speaking on January 17 at a government meeting, said that the arrival of tourists in the country during the Universiade will bring small and medium-sized businesses of the country a profit of about 2 billion tenge.
According to the mayor, 1,550 small private enterprises were involved in the construction of the Universiade facilities, which created 30,000 new jobs. From their activities, the city budget received taxes for 9.2 billion tenge.
220 companies were involved in the preparation of the Universiade, where 5 thousand workers and employees work. Considering that 80 percent of these companies are Almaty-based, it is safe to say that the Universiade gave a new impetus to the development of small and medium-sized businesses in the southern capital.
Based on the data from the Global destination cities index,
in Almaty, a foreign tourist spends 245 dollars daily
states participating in the Universiade paid 1 million euros for living in the Athletic Village
In addition, 8 Almaty hotels were completely filled with sports delegations. Daily accommodation for guests of "Kazakhstan" was 70 dollars, for guests of Shera Park Inn - 85 dollars, for clients of Holiday Inn Almaty - 105 dollars.
The sale of tickets for the Universiade sports also gave a good income. The cheapest ticket cost 300 tenge. For this amount, viewers could watch matches group stage hockey tournament. Ticket price for curling - 500 tenge, ski nordic event - 700, ice skating - 1000 tenge, skiing- 1500 tenge. To those who have expressed a desire to admire figure skating, I had to pay 2500 tenge per ticket. The most expensive tickets - from 2000 to 5000 tenge - were sold at final match hockey tournament.
If tickets for the opening of the Universiade were sold for 15 thousand tenge, then entrance to the closing of the Games cost 13 thousand tenge.
The fact that all the tickets have been sold is evidence that the interest in the sporting event was very high.
The organizing committee was forced to put up for general sale 90 percent of the seats allocated to FISU and official delegations
Before the start of the Universiade, it was assumed that the proceeds from ticket sales (in comparison with expenses) would amount to approximately 1 million tenge. However, if we consider that a larger number of tickets were put up for general sale, then the amount should be higher.
Undoubtedly, the city akimat will publish how much these receipts were added to the treasury. But it cannot in any way determine the level of the Universiade.
In general, it is wrong to think that the Universiade should be profitable. All costs of organizing sports events should be viewed as a long-term investment.
The Universiade is over. 2 thousand athletes for 10 days competing among themselves in Almaty and admiring the scenery of Alatau, together with the fans will return to their homeland. And if their feedback about our country is positive, one of the tasks of the Universiade has been solved.
Another plus:
newly built sports facilities will increase the number of our champions, in whose honor the anthem of our country will be played at world championships and olympiads
