Warm up for Lausanne in Motion!

On the occasion of the International Day of University Sport (IDUS), celebrated worldwide on 20 September 2018, the International University Sports Federation (FISU) will once again organise a fun sports festival in Lausanne.  It is about inviting all citizens to do some physical exercise and bring university sport outside the campus into public spaces. The festival “Lausanne in Motion”, will take place on 22 September, the Saturday directly following the IDUS. Organisers expect more than 1500 participants who can try out for free a big variety of activities, such as Breakdance, Parkour, Mixed Martial Arts and deepWORK®, to name just a few. Festival participants will also have the opportunity to interact with internationally renowned athletes, including rising ski cross star Zoé Cheli, decorated swimmer Noémi Girardet and Olympic rower Augustin Maillefer.
