Absolutely! The preparation went great. I feel in phenomenal shape.
This was stated by the Bulgarian swimming national team, Yosif Miladinov, in response to a question from “24 Chasa” whether he was able to fulfill what was planned in the preparatory process for the Olympic Games in Paris.
The 21-year-old from Plovdiv will participate for the second time at the highest sports forum. In his crowning event, the 100m butterfly, Miladinov made it to the final in Tokyo 3 years ago, finishing 8th.
“Physical training is extremely difficult and only those who have gone through it know what it is about. And here comes the psychological element.
You have to have the mentality to handle the hard training. To win the battle against yourself. It takes endless dedication, but that’s what leads to success. My coach Gerard Mørland also helps me a lot here,” Yossif also shared from Switzerland.
He lives there with his family. Miladinov’s preparation for Paris took place in the Alpine country under the guidance of the specialist from the Netherlands.
“For some, there is concern about participating in the Olympics, for others it is motivating that they are among the elite. For me, the important thing is that the moment has come. I’m set for the maximum.
I never panic at a race. I do not have fear. For a sprinter in swimming, it is very important to be calm. I have already been played, I have the necessary experience”, says Miladinov.
Although only 21 years old, in February he became our first swimmer in history to reach the finals of the World, European and Olympic Games.
“I will not talk about goals. I really think that if I beat myself up, great things can happen in Paris. I know what I can do and what I have been preparing for. I leave happy. I am glad that the games have finally come,” Miladinov added.
He will arrive in the French capital tomorrow with a decidedly positive attitude and the necessary self-confidence to achieve success. We wish him success!
