Start:

He began swimming at age six in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. (24chasa.bg, 07 Oct 2019)

Reason:

"My grandfather enrolled me [in swimming]. I liked it a lot, and I started training more and more over time. There are athletes in our family. My grandfather was a football player, and my mother played basketball. I tried my hand at football but only for a short time. I gave up football because I injured my ankles a lot. [Swimming] was obviously the better option for me." (sportal.bg, 24 Feb 2020; 24chasa.bg, 07 Oct 2019)

Ambition:

To win a gold medal at the Olympic Games. (sportal.bg, 24 Feb 2020)

Philosophy:

"The goals I have set motivate me to overcome difficulties." (24chasa.bg, 07 Oct 2019)

ON THE MOVE
In 2014 he and his mother followed his father who had earlier gone to work in Germany. In 2015 he entered a sports school in Erfurt, Germany, and stayed there until 2018 when he moved to Switzerland to train and study at another sports school. "I went without knowing a word of German. I was ambitious and I said to myself that I would succeed, as this thing pushed me forward. [In Switzerland] I am preparing for another type of organisation of the training process. I also have an opportunity to be frequently in contact with athletes from the other countries. I am dedicated to sports and that makes me happy. My daily routine is such that I can perform my training programme as accurately as possible." (sportal.bg, 24 Feb 2020; 24chasa.bg, 07 Oct 2019)
