Georgia has sent 75 athletes to the Russian city of Kazan for the 2013 Summer Universiade, to compete in 10 sporting disciplines.
The Georgians will compete in boxing, chess, fencing, judo, rugby sevens, sambo, shooting, swimming, water polo and wrestling (both freestyle and Greco-Roman style), according to the Georgian ministry in charge of sports and youth affairs, reports Xinhua.
Leri Khabelov, president of the Georgian National Olympic Committee, refrained from predicting how many medals the Georgian athletes would win in Kazan.
Georgia took one bronze medal from the previous Summer Universiade held in China's Shenzhen two years ago.
This year's Summer Universiade stages 13 mandatory and 14 optional sports, making the Kazan Universiade the biggest in scale in the history of the university games.
