Academic Somersaults – University Sports Show 2020

08/07/2020

The winter semester has many exciting events to offer. The University Sports Show in particular draws a wide range of athletes of the RWTH Aachen University Sports Center (HSZ) to the Königshügel. Once a year, the sport groups of the HSZ put on a spectacular show and really get the audience going. There something of everything, from dance over acrobatics to martial-arts routines.

The RWTH Indoor Football Cup is considered the starting shot of the summer semester and concludes the winter semester with a sporting bang. In cooperation with the RWTH FH women’s football team, the HSZ is hosting the traditional event for the 15th time in the Königshügel Sports Hall. With endurance, team spirit and a lot of fun, the tournament prioritizes, besides sporting achievement, identity and teambuilding within the participating institutes and organizations.

To the cheers of the audience and fans, Rattenscharfe Wunderschöne Torschuss-Helden defeated the team MediÄTTÄCK 2:1, thereby securing the trophy.

However, sporting ambition by no means sidelines the fun of the game! For this reason, the HSZ does not only crown the winner, but also the teams that shine in terms of creativity, team spirit and fair play. Lok TT received the prize for the most creative application.

The events of the coming summer semester can be looked forward to with excitement!

The Show Begins

When the sequin dresses of the belly dancers sparkle in the spotlight, the karate course deliver a stunning performance and the cheerleaders fly in big arcs through the sky, then you know it’s time again for the University Sports Show.

Spectacular Choreographies in a Breathtaking Atmosphere

On February 4, 2020, the yearly University Sports Show will take place in the Königshügel Sports Hall. This year’s spectators can look forward to an evening of unique choreographies and impressive show acts. Beside oriental dance and artistic acrobatics, the sport groups will also present exciting feats of martial arts in, for instance, Savate. The cheerleaders of the Aachen Steelers will again take part with an outstanding acrobatic performance. As every year, the big band of FH Aachen “Full House” will provide fitting musical accompaniment.

Awards Ceremony for our Sponsors and Top-Class Athletes

Before the show, however, another highlight is set to take place. At 6:30pm, the “Spitzensportpreis of Aachen University Sports powered by STAWAG” for outstanding performance in university sports will be awarded.
