Balgarianovinite.com Rhythmic gymnastics coaching legend Neshka Robeva turned 80 on Tuesday. The birthday of one of Bulgaria’s most successful coaches in any sport is receiving extensive attention from media, politicians and society.
A national team gymnast between 1966 and 1973, Robeva served as head coach of the national squad from 1974 until 1999. Most of that quarter-century was Bulgaria’s Golden Age in Rhythmic Gymnastics, when the country was the global leader in the discipline. The nation referred to Robeva’s students as “our golden girls”. At Olympic Games and World and European Championships, Robeva’s gymnasts won 294 medals.
Youth and Sports Minister Encho Keryazov greeted Robeva on her anniversary at an official ceremony. In a speech, quoted by his ministry in a press release, Keryazov said: “Under your leadership, generations of Bulgarian gymnasts brought glory to Bulgaria on the world stage and turned Bulgarian rhythmic gymnastics into a symbol of class, discipline and beauty. With your strong personality, civic stance and dedication to young people, you continue to be an example of dignity, determination and inspiration.”
Keryazov presented Robeva with a bouquet and an honorary plaque.
