Celebrate with us this January, as we kick off the World University Games in the place that knows competition better than anywhere.

Experience the rush again

For the first time since 1972, Lake Placid will be home to the World University Games. A tradition spanning over 60 years, this great competition brings together athletes from all over the world, creating a unique atmosphere of blended cultures, athleticism, and teamwork that you can feel in the air when you watch these great athletes compete. Athletes ages 17-25 compete from over 600 universities; many have gone on to have illustrious Olympic careers after taking their place at the World University Games. Lake Placid is no stranger to the high stakes of competition, the thrill of the crowds, or the excitement of monumental athletic wins. Since hosting the Olympics, Lake Placid has become a reliable host for all things winter sports. From training world-renowned winter athletes, to hosting World Cup events, Lake Placid continues to champion for winter athletes all over!
