Q: 'What made you accept the invitation to open the season in Bansko?'
MG: 'I am very happy to be here again. I keep terrific memories of Bulgaria. I won the slalom of Borovets in 1984 and ranked second in the giant slalom. At that time, I was still very young. I keep track of the economic development of skiing in Bulgaria. The first time when I came here was in 1979 for the European Cup. Back then, Vladimir Andreev and Peter Popangelov were still competing. My next visit was in 1981 and once again I had wonderful time. I am curious to see what the new
Bulgaria is like.'
HT: 'This is my first visit to Bulgaria. I am eager to get acquainted with this country and its people.'
Q: 'Are you going to meet with Peter Popangelov?'
MG: 'I guess so. I know he is currently running a profitable business. As far as I can remember, the last time we saw each other was in 1986. Meanwhile, your winter resorts have developed considerably and I am curious to see the results. I would like to thank once again for the friendly invitation, addressed to us, and to help as best I can. I am ready to come for a week and train your young talents in one of your winter resorts.'
HT: 'I think that your country has a great potential to bring up a very competitive young generation of skiers. Mr. Popangelov is living evidence that Bulgarian skiing is on a very high level.'
Q: 'Bulgaria will soon enter the EU. What do you think will change?'
MG: 'I keep track of the events, taking place in Bulgaria. I think that you have marked great progress over the recent years. Friends of mine, who have come here, share their good impressions with me.'
