Virginia Stamatova from the Bulgarian section of RB ran the third leg, while lawyer Stamen Yanev ran fourth and showed remarkable speed, overcoming the distance in a record time.

Here's what Director General of the Bulgarian National Radio, Radoslav Yankulov, said about restoring the initiative:

We created a wide range of events - concerts, meetings, exhibitions and performances that made the radio and its friends - our listeners, even closer. We should not lag behind when it comes to sports, as it is part of peoples life and every intelligent person should value these activities.
