Carlos Nassar said that a foreign country offered him $2 million to leave Bulgaria  - 1

His biggest personal victory is the Olympic gold medal from the Paris Games. And what is the biggest amount he has been offered by another country, shared the absolute weightlifting champion Carlos Nassar in a special interview with NOVA.

„Many people tell me, it's like in football, like this, like this. It's not like in football here. I will carry a different flag on my back. And when I become champion, I will listen to a different anthem. And I will hug other people. And they will be somewhere else“, Nassar told Mondeo.

You wouldn't do it for any money?

“I wouldn't do this for any money, but not under any circumstances, because the circumstances in Bulgaria have tried to expel me more than once“, added the Olympic champion.

What is the largest amount of money that a foreign country has offered you to leave your homeland?

“Two million dollars a year. I am Bulgarian. I don't want to, I wouldn't be happy at all to compete for another country“, he added.
