Historical Of The Week - Maria Gigova:
Saturday, March 29, 2008
Hello readers and welcome back to Historical Bulgarian of the Week.
This has been an incredibly solid week of posts and our visitors map below tells us that we are getting readers from all over the globe! This new revelation has inspired two new goals for us here at B22Blogstars.
Number one is to make the Peace Corps Quartely Newletters' Section, "What PCVs are blogging..." and the second is to make the list of 50 Most Powerful Bloggers in the World.
Wish us luck and feel free to help us out by reading regularly and spreading the word constantly. That being said, enjoy todays post.
This weeks Bulgarian is Maria Gigova. Bulgaria is well know for their gymnastics. Maria was born in April 24, 1947. She was a three time rhythmic gymnastic champion, winning titles in the years of 1969, 1971 and 1973. And she won a total of four gold medals in hoop.
Maria graduated from the National Sports Academy in Sofia and after that became a member of the FIG Technical Committee and has served various posts in Bulgarian Gymnastics up until the year 1999.
I hate to be the barrier of bad news, however, our normal Sunday Blogstar, Brian Fantana, has been replaced. He sent in his letter of registration this week. However, your Blogstar thirst will be satisfied. I am not going to give away any information.
This new blog should be informative, insightful, inspiring and a whole lot more "in" words, like "in"joy.

So, I am disappointed that since your initial blog you have failed to address the facial hair of historical Bulgarians. Though I must admit that that first guy really had a bitchin' beard, and I guess it is pretty difficult to one up that.
