4 Modern badminton was introduced in Europe around 1800 by British officials that saw a game called Poona in India. It was practiced in the Beaufort Duque s propriety, the Badminton House, originating the sport s name. Badminton became an Olympic Sport in the 1992 Barcelona Games. The Portuguese Badminton Federation (FPB) regulates Badminton in Portugal. It is filiated in Badminton World Federation, Badminton Europe and the Portuguese Olympic Committee. Its headquarters are in Caldas da Rainha, where the High Performance Centre is also located. Portugal participated in 6 Olympic Games, Barcelona (with Fernando Silva and Ricardo Fernandes), Sidney and Athens (Marco Vasconcelos), Beijing (Ana Moura and Marco Vasconcelos), London and Rio (Pedro Martins and Telma Santos). It is worth noticing that Ana Moura, the first Portuguese female player to qualify for the Olympic Games was at the time a medical student at the University of Coimbra. Currently, she is a medical doctor at Coimbra University Hospital and coach of the AAC Badminton team. AAC Badminton section is currently composed of about 200 athletes and is one of the best schools of Badminton in the country. In the European Universities Badminton Championships 2017, Uludag (TUR) were once again dominant, winning the team competition. The doubles team of Pietryja & Wojtkowska from Opole University (POL) won the Mixed Doubles competition. The womens doubles team of Bayrak & Fere from, once again, Uludag University (TUR) were crowned winners in their competition, with the mens doubles team of Cervalho & Nero from the University of Lisbon (POR) dominating their competition. In the single competitions, Alexander Roovers from the University of Duisburg-Essen (GER) won the male competition, with Neslihan Yigit from Uludag University (TUR) winning gold in the womens. This year is the 4th edition of the European Universities Games, but in the 2016 edition the winners were Uladag University (TUR) in the Team Competition, Muhammed Ali Kurt, from Erzican University (TUR) in Mens Singles, and Anastasia Chervyakova, from Nizhny Novgorod University (RUS) in Womens Singles.

5 MESSAGE FROM THE EUSA TECHNICAL DELEGATE MESSAGE FROM THE OC TECHNICAL DELEGATE For this year s edition of the European University Games we will be the guests of the University of Coimbra here in Portugal. Originally founded in Lisbon in 1290, the university transferred to Coïmbra in 1308 and is among the older universities of Europe. The Badminton Games will be staged in one of the venues on the University Sports Complex, together with many of the other sports and that will certainly encourage the feeling of taking part in the largest multi sports event ever organized in Portugal. This year s Badminton competition will host 20 teams from all over Europe and as always, the team competition will be followed by an individual competition. I am sure we will see many high quality and hard-fought matches in good spirit and true sportsmanship. Besides Badminton I hope that, during your stay here in Portugal, you will find the time to explore the many sights of the beautiful city of Coimbra, meet new people and make new friends. For the competitive part, I wish you all a very successful tournament. Erik Ligtvoet EUSA TD for Badminton Dear Players, Officials and Visitors Welcome to the European University Universities Games 2018, and especially to its Badminton competition! For me it is a special pleasure to receive you in my home town and my university. Badminton has strong roots in Coimbra, as AAC has been involved in the sport for more than 50 years.

20 Making its first appearance in the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2020, 3x3 basketball is considered the number one urban team sport worldwide and the most played recreational sport on the planet. It is so simple and flexible that it can be played anywhere by anybody, providing fun sportive moments to everyone. It requires few material and the rules are simple: each match lasts a maximum of 10 minutes, with a 12-second shot clock. It is played on half a court, with one hoop. There is no halftime, and no quarters or no timeouts making the game fast, spectacular and exciting. This sports modality has been recently introduced in Portugal, therefore these European University Games will be an excellent opportunity to demonstrate this authentic urban culture atmosphere, which attracts a new young audience. In 2017, the European Universities 3x3 Basketball Championship was held in Split, withvthe University of Kragujevac (SRB) taking the gold once again in Croatia. In the womens competition, the Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University (UKR) won the gold medal.

27 CANOEING

28 Canoe sprint has two different types of boats, the kayak and the canoe. The kayak probably originates from Greenland, where it was used by the Eskimos, primarily for hunting, fishing and transportation. The canoe was used all over the world as a method of transportation, trade and war. The first official sporting events were created using both of these boats during the mid-19th century. Canoe sprint has been the traditional form of racing since the beginning. In Portugal Canoe Sprint is the most successful Olympic sport and has in its K2 athletes Silver Olympic medallists Fernando Pimenta and Emanuel Silva the most remarkable ones. Beatriz Gomes and Francisca Laia, both from Coimbra and Olympic Athletes are successful canoe sprint athletes. In the past edition of the World University Games held in Coimbra the Portugal teamgal, all represented by students from Coimbra, won 6 medals. EUG2018 TECHNICAL HANDBOOK 55

44 FUTSAL

45 Unlike some other forms of indoor football, the game is played on a hardcourt surface delimited by lines; walls or boards are not used. Futsal is also played with a smaller, harder ball. The surface, ball, and rules create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity, and technique as well as ball control and passing in small spaces. Over the last few years, Portuguese futsal went from the most practiced sport recreation to the most practiced indoor sport with larger perspectives of improvement. This year Portugal became European Champion and Ricardinho, a Portuguese player, was considered the best world futsal player for 5 times in a row. In Coimbra, the AAC futsal team is one of the most ancient clubs of this sports modality in Portugal and has a long list of awards with several wins in the National Futsal Championship. Futsal is in the programme of The European Universities Games since 2012 in Cordoba, Spain. The University of Beira Interior (POR) took gold back in 2017 s Mens competition, with the Moscow Polytechnical University (RUS) reahing the same heights in the Womens competition. European Universities Games 2016, the winners of the men s tournament were the University of Zagreb (CRO) and the Women s tournament the Moscow State University of Mechanical Engineering (RUS).

60 decided after the overtime period, it is decided with 7 m penalty throws in accordance with Rule 2:2 of the Rules of the Game. The IHF COC has the right to decide that certain matches will be executed with direct 7m penalty throws in accordance with Rule 2:2 of the Rules of the Game. If this rule applies, the decision will be published in the official announcement or together with the match schedule. Rule 2:2 Should the match still not be decided after the overtime period, the winner will be determined in accordance with the rules for the particular competition. In the case that the decision is to use 7-metre throwing as tiebreaker to decide a winner, the procedures indicated below shall be followed. If 7-metre throwing is used as a tie-breaker, players who are not suspended or disqualified at the end of the playing time are entitled to participate. Each team nominates 5 players. These players make one throw each, alternating with the players of the other team. The teams are not required to predetermine the sequence of their throwers. Goalkeepers may be freely chosen and substituted among the players eligible to participate. Players may participate in the 7-metre throwing as both throwers and goalkeepers. The referees decide which goal is used. The referees make a coin toss, and the winning team chooses whether they wish to throw first or last. The opposite sequence is used for all subsequent throws, if the throwing has to continue because the score is still tied after the first five throws each. For such a continuation, each team shall again nominate five players. All or some of them may be the same as in the first round. This method of nominating five players at a time continues as long as it is necessary. However, the winner is now decided as soon as there is a goal difference after both teams have had the same number of throws. Players may be disqualified from further participation in the 7-metre throwing in cases of significant or repeated unsportsmanlike conduct (16:6e). If this concerns a player who has just been nominated in a group of five throwers, the team must nominate another thrower.

The teams receive cards bearing numbers 1 and 2 in the first half of the game and the cards no. 2 and no. 3 in the second half provided they received no more than one team time-out in the first half. In case they received two team time-outs in the first half, they receive only green card no. 3. Within the last 5 minutes of the regular playing time only one team time-out per team is allowed.

Rowing is one of the oldest Olympic sports. Though it was on the programme for the 1896 games, racing did not take place due to bad weather, but male rowers have competed since the 1900s. Our best Olympic athletes are Pedro Fraga and Nuno Mendes, which compete in the double scull light weight category and have some remarkable results in this specialty.
