With only six medals won, the Winter Olympics for Bulgaria are far more unsuccessful than summer. The only gold continues to be Ekaterina Dafovska in Biathlon in Nagano in 1998, and in the shortcut Evgeni Radanova has two silver and one bronze, which makes it the most successful in the history of Bulgaria at the Winter Olympics.
The situation in snow sports is such that rarely Bulgarian delegations are sent with hopes for the prize ranking of the Winter Olympics. And by the beginning of the starts in Milan/Cortina in 2026, there will be exactly two distillations of the last won medal – Radanova’s silver in the shortcut 500 meters from Turin. So far, for the games in Italy, the sure quotas are 15, 8 of which are in biathlon (4 in men and 4 in men), 3 in the alpine ski (one of which is 100% for Albert Popov plus another for men and one for women), 3 in skiing and 1 in Alexandra Figure Figure. The delegation will certainly be greater than it was in Beijing in 2022 when 15 people left.
Bulgaria sends its youngest team to the Sarajevo Winter Olympics 1984
Hope for medals in Milan/Cortina is given by Milena Todorova in Biathlon and Albert Popov in Alpine Ski, especially since they both made an extremely strong last season. But the highest are the expectations of a sport, in which it is clear that Bulgaria will have representatives, but there is still no guaranteed quota – the Alpine snowboard. On the basis of the International Ski Federation (FIS) ranks, Radoslav Yankov, Tervel Zamfirov and Malena Zamfirova will travel to Italy. Each of the three will be carefully monitored by the competition as there is a chance for a medal. Tervel Zamfirov, as a current world champion in the parallel slalom, It is also the greatest hope for the second gold medal on the account of Bulgaria from the Winter Olympiad.

Christian Georgiev has a huge chance of being part of the games in Milan and Cortina.
It is important to clarify that the Olympic Games will only be driven in a parallel giant slalom – there are no parallel slalom and team races. Currently, five Bulgarian snowboarders meet the criteria for participating in Milan/Cortina.
Compared to their ranking, Radoslav Yankov and Tervel Zamfirov look unshakable. For Yankov, this will be a fourth attempt to enter the troika of the Olympics after being 21st in Sochi, dropped in qualifying in Pyeongchang and arrived semifinals in Beijing. At the border are Christian Georgiev and Peter Gergyovski, and Alexander Krushnyak could receive a quota, but he lags a lot of points with only 150 accumulated. In the actual arrangement Georgiev is the 41st, But there are four Austrians and three Italians who cannot compete on the games because of the quota principle – because there are four other compatriots in front of them in Ranking. There are five Russians in front of Georgiev, who at the moment are excluded from the Olympic Movement. But if the embargo on their participation is lifted, it will push Georgiev a little further back into the standings. In the ideal scenario, however, Christian Georgiev is the 33rd in the arrangement of the FIS on points in the distribution of quotas, so that any of those before it is due to a injury or at his strong performance in the World Cup and he will be part of the national team in Milan/Cortin-and is not at all neglect the fact that the difference to the difference to the difference to the difference to (total asset of 270). Peter Gergyovski with 198 points is also in the accounts for the Olympics, and with 150 points a chance has Alexander Krushniak. So you can safely say that before next season for the World Cup, Five Bulgarians are fighting for four Olympic quotas in snowboarding, The likelihood of Bulgaria with a full team in men is not small.

Radoslav Yankov has headed for the ranking of the Fourth Olympics.
The remaining World Cup starts, which will also be valid for the allocation of the Olympic quotas, will be exactly 12. The last two of which will be in Bansko in mid -January 2026, and immediately after them the rankings will be closed and the names of the Milan/Cortin will be known. It is also important to clarify how the points are distributed in the starts for the World Cup – for the first place are given 100, for the second they are 80, for the third – 60, and at least receives the 30th in the final standings – only one.
Shifts are possible, but they are unlikely to be so drastic, considering that the first 30 in the general ranking is extremely stable in their results and caravings.
