The event has also been organised by a range of co-host cities near Belgrade, mostly in northern Serbia. It was the largest sporting event ever to be organised by the city. At this Universiade the biggest star was the Russian rhythmic gymnast Evgeniya Kanaeva, who won 5 gold medals. Russia was the leading nation in the medal table, with the most gold medals (27) and most medals (76). Bidding process Bid cities City Country Belgrade SCG Monterrey Mexico Poznań Poland The bidding process for the 2009 Summer Universiade games began in early 2004. Together with Belgrade, another two cities bid for the event – Monterrey in Mexico and Poznań in Poland. Working in Belgrade's favour were the various major sporting events the city was awarded to host in the then-upcoming 2005–2007 period such as EuroBasket 2005, the 2005 European Volleyball Championship, the 2006 European Water Polo Championship, and the European Youth Olympic Festival 2007. Furthermore, the city launched two unsuccessful candidate bids to organize the Summer Olympic Games (1992 and 1996); for the 1992 Summer Olympics bidding process, Belgrade was eliminated in the third round of International Olympic Committee voting, with the games ultimately being awarded to Barcelona. Belgrade was also eliminated (this time in the first round) in the 1996 Summer Olympics bidding process, with said games ultimately being awarded to Atlanta.http://www.okscg.org.yu/s101e.htm History of the Olympic Committee of Serbia Olympic Committee of Serbia 2007-05-19 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20090110110205/http://www.okscg.org.yu/s101e.htm 2009-01-10 http://www.olympic.org/uk/games/past/index_uk.asp?OLGT=1&OLGY=1996 Official Website of the Olympic Movement Atlanta 1996 2007-05-19 https://web.archive.org/web/20070519080448/http://www.olympic.org/uk/games/past/index_uk.asp?OLGT=1&OLGY=1996 19 May 2007 live On 10 January 2005, Belgrade was announced as the host city of the 2009 Summer Universiade in Innsbruck, Austria.

Mascot 200px|right|thumb|Srba – 2009 Summer Universiade mascot The mascot of the 2009 Summer Universiade is a sparrow bird. The organisers chose the sparrow not only because of its symbolic ties to the host city but also because it represents a fast, dynamic and skillful bird, attributes needed for those competing at Universiade. The mascot received a new more modern look in 2009 and a competition began to name the Belgrade sparrow. The three final names for the sparrow were published in the Serbian media in April 2009, with the finalists being Srba, Cvrle and Dživdžan. The final voting was left to the 10,000 Universiade volunteers who overwhelmingly chose the name "Srba".http://www.nadlanu.com/Dynamic/News,intItemID,126899,intCategoryID,225.html Na Dlanu Maskota Univerzijade – Srba 2009-07-26 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20090406173523/http://www.nadlanu.com/Dynamic/News%2CintItemID%2C126899%2CintCategoryID%2C225.html 2009-04-06 Venues The 2009 Summer Universiade took place in 69 venues across Belgrade and near bycities Inđija, Novi Sad, Obrenovac, Pančevo, Smederevo, Vršac and Zrenjanin.http://www.blic.co.rs/sport.php?id=61978 Blic Trećina Univerzijade biće održana u Vojvodini 2008-10-22 June 2017 InternetArchiveBot yes Obrenovac hosted the water polo and volleyball competition, Inđija, Pančevo and Vršac the basketball, Novi Sad the athletics and volleyball, while Zrenjanin hosted the swimming competition.
