National team selection

Every second year there are entrance examinations for the national team. Everybody from the Bulgarian sports schools can take part in these examinations. After overcoming this barrier the gymnasts continue their training in the city of Sofia. They are trained and taught in the "Gerena" Sports Complex. It should be mentioned that the loading is enormous and the diets are very strictly limited. Only few gymnasts can then enter the National team. Since 1973, Neshka Robeva, a former European vice-champion, is the senior-coach of the Bulgarian national team of art gymnastics. The sucessess of several generations of Bulgarian gymnasts are closely related with her name.
