    Kiril Kirov is the №1 shooter of 2023, BSU awarded the best athletes

    Kiril Kirov was voted the best shooter of the year in the ranking of the Bulgarian shooting union. The competitor of ASK Trakia deserved the recognition for his third place in the 10 meters pistol at the world championship in Baku. The success brought an Olympic quota for Kirov for the Games in Paris 2024.

    Second in the ranking is Samuil Donkov, who finished seventh at the World Championships in Baku in a pistol. The competitor also distinguished himself with a strong score of 588 points during an international tournament in Sofia, which is only one point from the state record of the legendary Tanyu Kiryakov.

    Top 3 complements the Olympic vice-champion from Tokyo 2020 Antoaneta Kostadinova, who this year took a silver medal at the European Games in Krakow.

    In the juniors number 1 for the year is Petar Ivanov (Lokomotiv Ruse), followed by Kiril Ushanli and Dimitar Todorov.

    The winners were awarded by the chairman of the Bulgarian shooting union Vessela Letcheva.

    “The past year has been encouraging and successful for the Bulgarian shooting sport. We won awards in the most important competitions of the year. We have two quotas for the Olympic Games, first participation in a World Cup final in the men’s rifle discipline. This makes us feel hopeful because the Olympic year is coming. There is also a young generation that has also made serious achievements. Whether we will have more quotas for Paris is a difficult question, because the competition is extremely serious.

    There are two European championships, a World Cup, and there will be an opportunity to take quotas. I hope our competitors will show their best results at these competitions and will win at least three more Olympic quotas,” said Vessela Letcheva after the ceremony.
