The 1975 Summer Universiade, also known as the VIII Summer Universiade, [1] took place in Rome, Italy. The 1975 Universiade only featured athletics, other disciplines having been cancelled, as the original host Yugoslavia was unable to hold the event. [2] It was therefore referred to as the World University Championships in athletics. [3] [4]
