Luckily for the University of Regina (U of R) Cougars’ Track Athlete Jonathan Podbielski, that was a reality. The 2025 Summer FISU World University Games were held in Bochum, Germany, where Podbielski, accompanied by the U of R track team’s jumps coach, Sabrina Nettey, had the opportunity to compete. It wasn’t very fast overall, but I was really, really proud that I had made the final.”Podbielski’s qualifying time was 3:44.16. During the 2025 Winter semester, the U of R curling team competed in the Winter FISU games in Italy. In the preliminary event, Podbielski placed eighth with a time of 3:48.62, which qualified him to the finals where he finished seventh.
