On Nachev: "Making the Bulgarian team and competing at the European U23 Championships was the cherry on the cake for [Nachev]," Chamov said. "Bulgaria is one of the most difficult teams to make in the triple jump and being selected to represent the country is a huge honor. This competition was great experience that he will continue to build on for the rest of his career."
