Diab, Nedoroscik to FISU for USA

Both were chosen to represent the USA following their performances at the recent NCAA National Collegiate Men’s Championships. This summer’s Games mark the event’s 30th edition, which has 18 sports. …

Marios Georgiou became the first ever European AA medalist from Cyprus making the history for his country and himself. He had to overcome many challenges on his way to this medal including bullying due to his ethnicity (he is half-Filipino) his mother leaving him a few years ago and his father passing away.  …
