We discuss universal relations between the moment of inertia and the quadrupole moment of arbitrarily fast rotating neutron stars. These relations are independent of the equation of state and they were first discussed in a slow rotation approximation. However, recent studies suggested that these relations break down for fast rotations. Nonetheless, we consider the dependence of the relation on different dimensionless parameters characterizing the magnitude of rotation, thereby, restoring their universality among various suggested equations of state.
