Bulgarian veteran Jordan Jovchev
|
It's unbelievable: The Bulgarian veteran and president of the Bulgarian Gymnastics Federation, Jordan JOVCHEV - exactly six weeks before his 39th birthday - had just qualified for his sixth Olympic Games!
With an all-around performance of 82.649 points he made last week in London, at the Pre-Olympics, he will be the only one gymnast with 6 participations world wide!
<< Jordan JOVCHEV thus represents a single starter Bulgaria since his Olympic debut in 1992 at the age 18 (Barcelona) will most probably compete on rings only in the 2012 Olympic Games. Shortly after landing at Sofia Airport, Yovchev expressed his hope he would not suffer any injury while preparing for the Games and said he would do his best to make a good routine.
He is thus the male counterpart to the 37-year-old German Oksana Chusovitina, the sixth also already for her Olympic participation is qualified |
