Bulgaria is sending only 6 athletes at these Championships. It's safe to say, that along with football, it's the biggest downfall of a sport in our current history. It's truly amazing with the last 50 year history in this sport, that we are only able to send a team fitting a minnow state, let alone fight for finals, or a pipe dream of getting medals.. Like swimming is having a better, much better team currently, a sport, that has almost no tradition here.

 

Tihomir Ivanov (M, High Jump)

Georgi Nachev (M, Triple Jump)

 

Mirela Demireva (W, High Jump)

Alexandra Nacheva (W, Triple Jump)

Militsa Mircheva (W, Marathon)

Marinela Nineva (W, Marathon)

well, you had some success at the recent junior worlds...

 

so, there's a chance to improve the current (sad) situation of Bulgarian athletics...

 

Mitkova is basically ready for the senior stage with her jumps in Cali...it won't take long before she can make the global finals...

 

the high jump guy (sorry, I don't remember his name at the moment) is more a long shot, but maybe he also has a chance to develop in a global medal contender in a few years...

 

and you know, it only takes someone to ignite the spark and then the good tradition can always comeback...

You know, i saw those results last week, but i just can't feel optimistic about. Good junior athletes come and go (at least here) all the time, but only a select few make the transition to a good senior level. It's not only in athletics, but with all sports, there is just something broken in our system, that can't push juniors into the top of the senior level.

 

Whether it's the financial situation, the coaching methods, the training preparations, the athletes desire and motivation, there is always something, that prevents the majority of juniors breaking through. And i'm sure this could be said for any country. 

 

Will see, what will happen with Mitkova. The same was being said about Alexandra Nacheva. World Champion, Youth Olympic Champion in 2018, bunch of other medals, big talent aaaand her PB is still from that 2018. 4 years after that, she hasn't shown any progress, better jumps, she is basically on the same junior level as she was, when 16-17.

 

Just another example from the past 10 days. Apparently we won some fancy juniors women's tennis team cup and people were gushing what a prosperous group of girls we have, everyone is the best in their age group yada-yada (tennis has become a rising sport between kids, because of Grigor Dimitrov). I can bet a good amount, that those girls won't even reach the top 100 in the WTA in years time...

The federations had 8 days to deregister their athletes so that others could move up. There is definitely no failure on the part of EA, but the federations with their selfish behavior are to blame.

Johannes Vetter will take part or German officials continue to being German officials as we all know them ?

The real problem with rankings is that some people that are qualified get injured and such, whilst some athletes that don't really have a chance to qualify anymore end their season, then get the invitation that they decline, because they are not prepared. 

 

That's how three of our athletes stayed at home.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
