The players from the women’s basketball team Danube Ruse lost 46:69 as guests to Dinamo Moscow in the last match of group G from FIBA-Europe Women’s basketball Cup. The match was not of great significance because both teams had already secured participation in the next stage of the tournament.

Alexandra Zhekova has ended 7th in the border-cross competition part of the Snowboard World Cup held in the USA. After three starts, Zhekova is third with 1160 points – before her are the Canadian Maey Ricker with 2000 and Diminique Malte with 1200 points.

On 18 December, the ski-season on Vitosha Mountain was officially opened with a unique show. Skiers from the national ski demonstration team and children club Vitosha Ski performed a memorable spectacle on ski. Afterwards, all skiers participated in the first night skiing on the tracks of Vitosha Mountain.

“50% reduction for good mood” was the slogan which opened the new winter season in Borovets ski-resort. Skiers and snowboarders enjoyed well prepared tracks.

Economy Minister Traicho Traikov and his deputy Ivo Marinov opened winter season 2009-2010 in the ski-resort of Pamporovo. Resort managers hope to prolong the season as much as possibly using snow-producing machines. This year there are expectations for a rise of the number of tourists from Serbia, Macedonia and Montenegro. The main reason is that citizens from these countries no longer need visas to travel to Bulgaria.
