In the challenging world of sport shooting, where concentration and precision define champions, extraordinary success stories are born.
Vessela Letcheva, former Minister of Sport, is one of these remarkable individuals. With her 17 world records and numerous titles, she is a symbol of endurance and perseverance. Her career is an example of how strong will and tireless work can turn dreams into reality.
In this interview, Letcheva shares her experiences and lessons learned through years of hard training and competition. She reveals how the sport has shaped not only her career, but also her life, inspiring a new generation of shooters. Vessela Letcheva’s story is an inspiration to anyone seeking the path to the top through dedication and hard work.
Letcheva talks about her first steps in shooting:
“My father Nikolay Letchev was a long-time head coach of the national shooting team and under his leadership significant successes were achieved. In the beginning I didn’t dream of shooting. It was rather my father’s dream. For me, sport shooting seemed boring and the weapon did not connect with my childhood notions. I started without any desire, but socializing with other kids at the shooting range inspired me.”
