Australia at the Winter World University Games

History

Australia's history in the FISU Winter World University Games (WUG) dates back to 1985 and has seen Australian student-athletes compete in 13 of the last 27 events with unbroken involvement since 1991. The UniRoos have entered teams for events such as figure skating, speed skating, snowboard cross, ski cross, cross country skiing and freestyle skiing. 

​
