It is never too late to celebrate the sporting successes of our student athletes, who brought to Portugal 3 medals, won in Taiwan, at the 29th Summer Universities Meeting of 2017.

Francisco Belo, responsible for winning the gold medal in Taipei, distinguished himself in shot putting with a mark of 20.86 metres, beating his personal record.

Marta Onofre, after her pole vaulting jump of 4.40 metres, beat her open air personal record and won the bronze medal.

Marta and Francisco, both 26 years of age, found the means to combine the medical degree with high performance sport.

The Faculty is proud of them and reinforces its congratulations to both!
