February 10 (BTA) - Returning from Beijing, Bulgarian luger Pavel Angelov said that he is dissatisfied with his performance in Beijing and retiring from professional sport. Angelov finished 28th, which was an improvement of nine places compared to his Olympic debut in the 2018 Pyeongchang Games.

"I decided to quit now, to give a chance to the younger generation to step in the spotlight. My career as an athlete is over. I am switching to being a trainer. We have four or five young hopefuls, who are showing great promise. I hope they will be able to fill my shoes," Angelov added.  DS/NZ
