Winter Universiades don't have high level of competitors, but it's still very nice to see us getting 3 medals.  Especially for a small delegation like ours.

For an event of this caliber, I’m surprised with how many of the names I recognize. 

Recently, the Winter FISU Games seem to attract a mix of world cup athletes, top level junior athletes, athletes from nations without much winter sports tradition and a handful of olympians. It's an interesting mix.

There were also a few other medal opportunities that ultimately didn't pan out for Bulgaria, but it was fun to see their athletes mixing it up for the medals
