 Bulgarian Olympic History 

 

 

"The Olympic team shall include only fit men, not older than 30, men, well developed and educated'. This is how the national enlightenment and education minister Konstantin Velichkov determines the criteria for the Bulgarian delegation at the first modern Olympics in Athens 1896. The Swiss born physical education teacher takes part in three individual apparatus in gymnastics under the name Shampoff. He takes the  elite fifth place on vault and thus starts the Bulgarian Olympic participation.

 

 

The first memorable national participation at Olympic Games is in 1924 in Paris.The invitation to Bulgarian athletes came personally from Pierre de Coubertin. Four athletes, seven cyclists, two equestrian riders and the national football team travel to Paris. General Stoychev places 11th in equestrian out of 99 participants.
