Снимка: archive

Thirty years ago on August 30, 1987, Bulgaria’s athlete Stefka Kostadinova set a new high jump world record at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. The Bulgarian athlete jumped 209 centimeters, thus beating her own personal best by 1 centimeter. Many athletes, including Kostadinova herself, have been trying to beat that record in the past 30 years, but the record still stands. Kostadinova is the only Bulgarian awarded with the Sports Oscar. Thus, Stefka Kostadinova placed alongside world sports legends such as Pele, Ayrton Senna, Diego Maradona, Boris Becker, Sergey Bubka, Mike Tyson and Carl Lewis. Kostadinova was among the first athletes inducted into the IAAF Hall of Fame. Her bar decorates the entrance of the Olympic Museum in Lausanne.
