I would like, for the first time on my web site, to make the announcement that I have made the decision to end my professional career as an alpine skier. I have given it much thought, and I came to the conclusion that without a strong team on my side and indispensable financial support it would be impossible to achieve my goals at this point. As the majority of you are well aware, I fought very hard. I think I was able to prove to myself and others that I am an athlete with strong abilities and a spirit of a winner. Despite, the least to say, rocky road in the last ten seasons of my career, I am very happy and proud of the fact that I represented my country with honor and respect.
Starting this month, I will be a coach and an official representative of ski club “ULEN”. My goals are, in my new beginning, to share my knowledge and experience with the young skiers of the club and to become one of the leading specialists in the field. The great conditions in Bansko allow my colleagues and I to work in a very professional environment. During the upcoming ski season 2010/11, I am planning on participating in some of the ski competitions in Bulgaria, but I will mainly concentrate on my coaching career and on further developing my organizational skills.
Good luck to all skiers! I believe we will be very successful together.

The Olympic games opening yesterday was a great ceremony. We are fighting over the heavy weather conditions in Whistler for 7 days already. The ski runs are soft due to the warm weather and the rain, that has not stopped for the past several days. The strangest thing is that the official downhill will take place without any official training, which I think surpasses all normal logic. FIS have always been tolerant towards the best skiers, but this has gone over the top. All teams here are against this way of conducting except the Americans and the Norwegians, who think this is normal.

I would like to thank all who have supported me during this difficult for me season - my parents, relatives, friends and my girlfriend Maria! They all believed that I will get to the great forum to defend the name of Bulgaria on the Olympic games. Also I would like to thank my general sponsor QBE, for securing the resources for my training and competition. I cannot miss to mention also the great help from IOC - BOC and the scholarship, that I was granted. Regardless of the fact that I was not in the team, the Federation helped me with the equippment without which it would be difficult for me to race and train.
Thank you all and good luck to all sportsmen in Canada!
