The national trampoline team is expanding its extensive preparation for the upcoming world championships, currently conducting an intensive training camp in the city of Ruse. The camp, which will continue until August 3, brings together 22 highly qualified athletes along with their personal coaches.
Senior coach Stanislav Stoyanov revealed the strategic goals of the national team, highlighting three key competitions in the second half of the year. These include the World Cup in Varna, an international tournament for boys and girls, followed by a World Cup in France and the most significant championship - the World Championship in the Spanish city of Pamplona in October.
The team's preparation is carried out simultaneously in two main centers - Ruse and Stara Zagora. Eight athletes are training under the guidance of coach Mariana Makulova in Stara Zagora, while the rest are concentrated in the camp in Ruse.
For the first time, the Bulgarian national team will participate with a full roster of juniors in the international tournament in Varna, demonstrating the ambition to develop young talents in the sport.
In the men's category, the team relies on established athletes Kaloyan Petrov and Mariyan Mihalev. For women, the main hopes are associated with Hristina Peneva and Mariyana Uzunova. Special attention is given to Katerina Kuleshova, who, despite her current suspension from the International Federation, continues to train actively.
The coaching staff is working on complicating the individual combinations of each athlete. For Kaloyan Petrov, new exercises are being introduced, with consideration of presenting his new program at the World Cup in Varna. Mariyan Mihalev is focusing his efforts on refining the technical execution.
The preparation of the national trampoline team demonstrates serious professionalism and ambition for high achievements in the upcoming international competitions.
