PROMOTING SPORT IN SOFIA

I hope that by my example, I can inspire a lot of children to be active and play sport, because sport is health. Let's be active again, find the magic of sport and return to the slides, stadiums, and swimming pools." (sportandlife.net, 12 Mar 2021; bnr.bg, 10 Mar 2021)

She got involved in figure skating for health reasons when she was younger. "The fact is that winter sports have a very beneficial effect on the respiratory system and, on the recommendation of doctors, my parents enrolled me in figure skating initially. Thanks to the sport I was cured, and later I switched to short track skating. I was caught up by the high speed and adrenaline."
