"The ski run was very good. I love it here in Bansko where the atmosphere is great. I hope I will return to Bulgaria soon," she said.
Bulgaria’s only representative in the world cup this year, Maria Kirkova, finished 39th with a time of 1:22:10 minutes, 7.61 seconds behind Vonn.
It was the slowest time of all skiers but Maria managed to win the applause of the several thousand spectators who cheered her for competing with the best. Bulgaria has never had an athlete competing in the women’s world cup event before, which was what made her achievement so valuable for Bulgaria. Well done Maria.......
and well done Bansko - you did us all proud!

re: Nice Words On Bansko From World Cup Super-G Winner
Half full or half empty, Chemmy finished less than 1/2 a second off last!
re: Nice Words On Bansko From World Cup Super-G Winner
Chemmy Alcott finished 17th on the first day from a start number of 43 or 44, the course had cut up by then and i feel that was a good achievment...The results shown only show top thirty, Chemmy was a lot more than half a second off last ! she was in fact 2.63 secs ahead of the BG girl on her home mountain, and she wasn't last
re: Nice Words On Bansko From World Cup Super-G Winner
And only 1.2 seconds outside a top 1O finish.re: Nice Words On Bansko From World Cup Super-G Winner
Chemmy is far better than any other home grown talent at the moment. I saw her compete against some girls from the UK, she was far far ahead.re: Nice Words On Bansko From World Cup Super-G Winner
Also you have to remember that chemmy suffered a fractured ankle in November, and only resumed skiing in January.So yes it was a great performance.
re: Nice Words On Bansko From World Cup Super-G Winner
thousands of spectators more like 500 i was there
re: Nice Words On Bansko From World Cup Super-G Winner
if only 500 spectators why were some saying it took3.5 hours to get up the mountain on the gondola?
re: Nice Words On Bansko From World Cup Super-G Winner
maverick...you must have been down town or in the queue for the gondola (three queues in fact which some people were in for 3 hours with a lot more than 500 in each..!) funny enough i was there also and you couldn't see snow for people at top of gondola never mind the stands...
