2015 Winter Universiade

The 2015 Winter Universiade, the XXVII Winter Universiade, was a multi-sport winter event with the host duties shared by Granada, Spain and Štrbské Pleso, Slovakia.
On 14 March 2009, FISU announced that the host would be Granada because they were the only bid.
On 25 June 2014, after Granada announced that it could not host cross-country skiing events for environmental and logistical reasons, FISU announced that Slovakia was invited to be a co-host of the 2015 Winter Universiade. FISU approved moving the Nordic skiing and biathlon events to Štrbské Pleso and Osrblie in Slovakia. In this way, Slovakia was allowed to add another sport to its program, ski jumping.

Sports

Four sports took place in Slovakia, from January 24 – February 1. From February 4 – 14, the other sports were contested in Granada.
