The general assembly of the Bulgarian Olympic Committee has selected the delegation, which is to represent this country at the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. The number of sportsmen will be 16. The entire delegation will consist of 37 persons, headed by Stefka Kostadinova, chairperson of the BOC. Biathlon champion from Nagano 1998 Ekaterina Dafovska will be the head of the Bulgarian Olympic team. I don’t want to burden our Olympic contestants with big expectations.
