Pazardzhik Female Athlete Achieves Championship and Golden Success for Bulgaria

Pazardzhik-based athlete Melanie Sarafska won a gold medal and set a new Bulgarian record at the 21st European Youth Athletics Games in Brno, Czechia. Observers noted the exceptionally strong performance of the Bulgarian team in the 4×60 meter relay, where Sarafska started alongside her teammates from Academic Sofia — Stefania Traianova, Maria Jordanova, and Yoana Dracheva.

The coach of the Pazardzhik club Hermes 888, Evelina Karadzova, emphasized that this is the first such achievement for a Pazardzhik athlete at a competition of this magnitude. In the championship’s crowded family, Melanie became the Bulgarian champion in the relay for the Academic team in the 60 meters for girls born in 2013, among 77 teams. Additionally, she qualified for the final of the 150 meters, as the discipline drew 252 participants in 32 heats.

Among the impressive results stood out Simona Arabadzhijska, who finished 30th in the 800 meters out of 113 competitors. A large share of the success is thanks to the efforts of the young athletes and their coaches, who gave their all at the prestigious international competition.

We are proud of Melanie and Simona, said the team, and expressed hope for future successes and continued development in our young athletic school.
