Extractions: History of University (Collegiate) Water Skiing First International Event Late in 1988, the National Collegiate Water Ski Association of the United States received a surprising invitation to compete in, of all things, the 1989 World University Games. Only one problem. These were the games of the FISU "Winter" Universiade to be held in Sofia, Bulgaria. Although the request from the United States Olympic Committee raised a few eyebrows at the NCWSA, the decision was made to pick up the gauntlet, and work immediately started on team and staff selection. While water skiing was to be a demonstration sport, competition would be against the former Soviet Union, Bulgaria and West Germany. Competition was to consist of the traditional 3-events of slalom trick and jump. With tricks (figures) taking place in a 50 meter pool in the athletes village, slalom and jump were scheduled at a "heated site" in the hydropark.
