And here are a couple of relevant posts that sk8erfan posted (copying them here): Canada announced its team for the Winter Universiade. I forgot about this competition when I wrote the last post.
The 2015 Winter Universiade is on February 3-14, in Granada, Spain and the short track competition will be held February 11-13. The event is held every other year (in the same year as the Summer Universiade) for competitors between 17 and 28 who are full-time students at a post-secondary institution (university, college, CEGEP) or have graduated from a post-secondary institution in the previous year.

I'm not sure exactly where to put this but this seems like as good a place as any. I posted the Canadian team members for the 2015 Winter Universiade on the Canadian thread recently and this year it looks like the US has sent a team to the competition as well.
Here's the skaters according to the website, however, I don't think this list is completely accurate because some of the athletes are on the World Cup team and I think the team can only consist of 5 men and 5 women (but I'm not 100% sure). Athletes with stars beside their names are also on the World Cup team.
Women
Alexis Burkholder*
Katherine Ralston*
Kristen Santos*
Taylor Wentz
Jerebelle Yutangco
Lauren Ziegelmayer
| Men
Adam Callister*
William Mullarkey
Benjamin Oh
Ian Quinn
Aaron Tran
Jae Jae Yoo
|
Alyson Dudek posted a picture on Twitter at the games with some team members so she may be a coach. I'm not as familiar with the US skaters so I can't identify who's in the picture, maybe someone else can help me with that:
The games started February 3rd and the short track competition is February 11-13.

The Organizing Committee official website: www.granada2015.org/en/media-universiada/universiade-tvThe International University Sports Federation: www.fisu.net/en/International-university-sports-federation-3137.htmlA old news said, In order to save events, The World University Winter Games's figure skating/short track speed skating venue is a temporary building, it satisfies the game technology requirements does not have the sportscast conditions. Therefore, these two projects will not live in the official video platform. But a new news: The local TV station did the signal for The Spanish Organizing Committee, So in addition to the daily highlights of the FISU official platform can see figure skating, maybe the Organizing Committee official website have the Live stream.If you want to watch Live, you may try it. |

Thank you, @dose and sk8erfan for reporting results! I'm still slammed here at home with 'stuff' - it's all GOOD STUFF, but we're still adjusting to a new baby in the house, with all of the accompanying happy distractions! |
