MUG students had an excellent performance at the Academic Polish Cup in Alpine Skiing, where they won silver and bronze medals. Over 500 students from all of Poland competed at the championships in Zakopane on March 3rd-7th 2014. In the team classification of medical universities, the MUG team (Mikołaj Frankiewicz, Adam Kroczek, Michał Mikietyński i Dominic Lendowski) won bronze medals. The competition was fierce and lasted until the very last run. The MUG team defeated strong teams from the Jagiellonian University and the Medical University of Warsaw.

Mikołaj Frankiewicz (Medicine, 5th year) won a silver medal in the individual slalom classification. He was second only to a member of the Polish national skiing team who studies at the Medical University of Łódź.

The MUG women’s team (Zuzanna Pikiel and Karolina Piotrowska) also did a good job, finishing 5th in the medical university classification.

The competition took place outside the slopes as well. In the best costume classification, MUG’s Zuzanna Pikiel and Michał Wysocki (Chairman of AZS MUG) finished 3rd for their Asterix & Obelix outfits. They were outshined only by the Smurfs and Super Mario Bros.

Overall, this was the most successful National Academic Championship for the MUG skiing team. After such season we are anticipating an exciting competition at the next Medical Universities Skiing Championships.
