The History of Waterskiing in FISU

Since 2004, waterskiing is part of the programme of the World University Championships. After a first edition held in Balakovo (RUS) the top student waterskier had to wait until 2008 for the city of Tianjin (CHN) to organise the second edition, which gathered 65 competitors from 15 countries.
In January 2012 the third edition of the World University Waterskiing Championship was held in Santiago de Chile (CHI).
