Competing in the 2025 Islamic Solidarity Games held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, our student Sude Yaren Uzunçavdar achieved remarkable success in the women's +70 kg category in Taekwondo. Advancing to the finals after successfully passing the quarterfinals and semifinals, our athlete defeated her Uzbek opponent in the final match to win the gold medal.

We congratulate our student, who has made our country and university proud with her outstanding performance, determination, and perseverance, and wish her continued success.
