Bulgarian Olympic champion Ekaterina Dafovska has resigned as President of the Bulgarian Biathlon Federation due to health problems. At its next meeting on 11 May 2022 the Board will set a date for a General Assembly to elect the new President of the Federation. 

The gold medal winner at the Nagano Games was recently re-elected as head of the federation, despite serious opposition and disputes with the Ministry of Youth and Sports over the state funding of the Bulgarian Biathlon Federation.
