The President of the Bulgarian Olympic Committee (BOC) Vessela Letcheva, the member of the Executive Bureau Volodya Zlatev and the Secretary General Danail Dimov held an online meeting with a representative of the Organizing Committee of the Winter Olympic Games in Milano-Cortinа.
The next steps with regard to the accreditation and accommodation of the Bulgarian delegation, specific deadlines and requirements were specified. The meetings with the Italian side will be regular, as required by the preparations before such a big event. So far 20 Bulgarian athletes in winter sports have quotas for participation.
“Our competitors in skiing, snowboarding and biathlon made very strong placings last season, so these Winter Games will be very important for them and for the whole Bulgarian sport,” Letcheva said.
Last week, the BOC received a letter from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which gave clear instructions on the next steps. To date, all documents concerning the international activities of the Bulgarian Olympic Committee are accepted only with the signature of Vessela Letcheva by the institutions. The accreditation of the Bulgarian delegation for the European Youth Olympic Festival in Skopje is coming to an end and the next big event is the Winter Olympic Games in Milano-Cortina.
