Radoslav Yankov signs Olympians' Wall at IOC headquarters

Bulgarian snowboarder and four-time Olympian Radoslav Yankov has signed the Olympians' Wall at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) headquarters in Lausanne. Yankov, who is also a member of the Executive Board of the Bulgarian Olympic Committee (BOC), joined the ceremony alongside BOC President Vesela Lecheva and a Bulgarian delegation.

The wall, located near the office of IOC President Kirsty Coventry, serves as a space for distinguished athletes to leave their mark. Yankov expressed that it was an exceptional honor to meet Coventry and to participate in the ceremony as an athlete who has competed in four Winter Games.

During his visit, Yankov also participated in working meetings at the IOC. He emphasized the importance of athlete representation in decision-making processes, noting that the new BOC leadership aims to ensure athletes are actively involved in the governance of sport to better protect their interests and support their success.
