• Introducing Cricket at ITMO: A Journey of Passion, Friendship, and Hope

  When I initially came to ITMO University, I was astonished by the environment that surrounded me. I had never seen such an array of cultures and events.

  Physical education and sports is a class that every Bachelor’s student at ITMO must take for their first few years of studying. There is a wide range of options for how you can complete this discipline, with many different sports at varying levels of difficulty. If you want, you can join a club for a specific sport and compete, or you can complete the disciple on your own time by running or working out at a gym.

  You definitely have seen an abs challenge in the last two years, or maybe even have participated in one — maybe in the famous Chloe Ting’s Abs in 2 weeks, or blogilates' 100 Days of Abs — those videos were all the rage during the lockdown era.

• Phys. Ed at University: Endless Opportunities

  Many people believe that physical education as a subject in schools and universities is pointless. For some people, it's just about inexperienced coaches who don't know the rules of the game, old sports equipment and wasted time that could have been spent studying! But now I want to tell you that at ITMO, this is all in the past.
