I found out from the news that some young Ukrainian woman high jumped 210 cm and has improved Stefka Kostadinova's record by 1 cm. 209 cm was Stefka Kostadinova's world record, which no one could beat for 37 years. And it felt so wrong, but so wrong.
This is what he wrote on "Facebook" Slavi Trifonov.
There was something the whole world couldn't beat us at for 37 years. And every person in the world could pronounce the name Bulgaria only with admiration and respect. Because of Stefka Kostadinova.
I have the honor of knowing her in one of the sets of “Slavi's Show” I had noted with a pencil the height of 209 cm. With a pencil. Just to make me feel good. Of course, the Ukrainian worked hard, she is talented and jumped those 210 cm, but that doesn't change the fact that I feel bad. I don't know about you and I don't know who even cares, but I do.
And I use the opportunity personally, as a Bulgarian, to most sincerely and respectfully thank Stefka Kostadinova for keeping us, the Bulgarians, on top of the world for 37 years. A height of 209 cm. And if anyone deserves to be said to have done an awful lot, an awful lot for the name of Bulgaria in the world, it is Stefka Kostadinova. I think we all owe it to her. Or at least I am.
