Vesela Lecheva is running for chair of the Bulgarian Olympic Committee (BOC), her press service informed. The general election meeting of the headquarters is scheduled for March 19 in Sofia. 

Lecheva, a two-time Olympic silver medalist and five-time world shooting champion, has been nominated by the Bulgarian Shooting Union. 

The deadline for nominations expired yesterday, 20 days before the General Assembly of BOC.

In the fall of 2023, she was elected a member of the Commission on "Public Affairs and Corporate Communications" of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

The other candidate for the post is the current chair of the BOC, since November 11, 2005, Stefka Kostadinova, who will run for a sixth term.

Kostadinova is the Olympic high jump champion from Atlanta 1996 and a seven-time world high jump outdoor and indoor champion.
