Sadly Nikolova recently is acting more like a model in her instagram posts then anything close to professional athlete. I am not surprised. Hopefully today Yaneva and Mimi Hristova will succeed and get the quotas with today's matches for .
Yes, no longer. Her first event representing will be next months European Championships.
Here is a photo of Kimia showing her bulgarian passport from today:
Kimia Alizadeh has received her bulgarian citizenship and passport and will represent at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
She will be the first sportsman in Olympic history in taekwondo for the country.
Finally Bulgaria with a quota from the Championship, won by Semen Novikov in Men's Greco-Roman 87kg.
However performance from Bulgarian team was below expectations. We won 3 bronze medals (2 in Non-Olympic categories). I truly hope our wrestlers will take their lessons and come stronger in last two Olympic qualifications.
BTW, aren't we allowed maximum three weightlifters for the Paris 2024 Olympics? If that is so I think the ones will be Carlos Nassar, Bozhidar Andreev and maybe Hristo Hristov. Fisherov had no chances.
