United World Wrestling (UWW) aims to modernize wrestling on a sports science basis and sees Hungarian University of Sports Science (HUSS) as a key partner in this effort. This is the essence of the agreement signed last Friday by UWW President Nenad Lalovic and HUSS Rector Tamás Sterbenz.
Several departments from Hungarian University of Sports Science (HUSS) represented at the 26th Annual Meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), held in Salt Lake City from 26 to 29 May.
Seventeen international students received their diplomas of Hungarian University of Sports Science’s (HUSS) most prestigious international programme, the International Coaching Course (ICC), supported by the Olympic Solidarity Programme.
HUSS’s Professor Zsolt Radák conducted a professional training course in Kenya, the homeland of the world’s most renowned long-distance runners, where he also met Patrick Sang, the Olympic silver medallist coach and mentor of Eliud Kipchoge. The visit also marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration between the university and the Kenya Academy of Sport.
Thanks to a previously signed agreement, 30 students and two faculty members from Brigham Young University in the United States spent several days visiting Hungarian University of Sports Science (HUSS), where they took part in lectures as well as professional, community, and cultural programmes. The promising initiative will most likely continue in the future.
Date: 29 June - 3 July 2026
Location: Online or in-person in Budapest, Hungary
