A total of four gold, four silver, and eight bronze medals were amassed across swimming, triathlon, rowing, athletics, and cycling respectively.
The enviable haul would see Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é sit 16th in the overall medal table if reclassified as a country.
This glowing total places the University ahead of nations Brazil, Austria, South Africa, and Jamaica in the official standings.
In a championship that lived up to every inch of the pre-game hype, Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é’s highlights will live long in the memory, including Daniel Wiffen’s 800m swimming gold, Sophie Capewell’s incredible team cycling gold, and Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é’s huge involvement in the Men’s 4x400m bronze success, to name but a few.
