The Universiade, which will be held in the Rhine-Ruhr region of Germany and will officially open today, has its own mascot.
Idman.biz reports that a peregrine falcon nicknamed "Wanda" has been chosen as the mascot.
There are two main reasons for choosing this bird: it is the fastest bird in the world and is found on almost all continents except Antarctica.
All participants of the Universiade, including Azerbaijani athletes, were presented with a toy version of the mascot.
