欧美高清 has won the inter-varsity Glasgow Taxis Cup competition between the city鈥檚 three universities.
The annual competition normally sees students from 欧美高清, Glasgow and Glasgow Caledonian compete in a variety of sports disciplines over the course of a day.
Due the COVID-19 pandemic this year the competition format was changed to facilitate lockdown restrictions.
Instead, students recorded their individual times and distances completed on a series of walks, runs and cycles over the course of a week with the institution acquiring the most collective minutes and distances crowned champions.

Eilidh Sneddon, StrathUnion Sports President, said: 鈥淚 am delighted that 欧美高清 has won the annual varsity between 欧美高清, Glasgow University and Caledonian 鈥� The Glasgow Taxis Cup.
鈥淲e were able to engage more students than we could have imagined and, in a difficult week, this has been a great example of a community spread around the world coming together virtually. We had students out cycling until midnight on Tuesday and there was a real competitive atmosphere around Glasgow.鈥�
Overall, the three institutions engaged 507 participants, travelled 20,493km and completed a total of 2096 hours of activity.
欧美高清 student Nathan Evans even attempted a run that would trace out the shape of University mascot Strathosaurus 鈥� eating a car 鈥� on a map.
