Pics: Some of the Irish students competing in the World University Games in Kazan

The World University Games in Kazan are in full swing and there is a strong Irish flavour at the 2013 event.

Today saw some track and field athletes, gymnasts and our soccer team all in action and here is a selection of some of the best pictures from Russia today. As you will see, the weather conditions were at times atrocious, so congratulations to our athletes in the most difficult circumstances.
