Rector magnificus Marton Kropff launched the games by running around the track with a torch and lighting the Olympic flame. After a proper warming-up session, students competed in such games as twister, shot-put and tjoekbal. The Olympics are a join venture between Thymos, Isow and IxESN; a way of getting students of different nationalities together for sports.
Wageningen Olympics
Team China was the most fanatical of them all at the Wageningen Olympics on 19 April. Their two coaches had thought up a strategy for success in all the competitions. To no avail. Spain came first, beating not just China but also teams from Mexico, Ameland, Iran and Antigua & Barbados.
