Rest in peace, Dimitrina!

With infinite sadness European Gymnastics has learned of the passing of our Aerobic Technical Committee member Dimitrina Kandeva at the too young age of 54 after a courageous battle with cancer.

Having been a member of the European Gymnastics Technical Committee since 2023, President of the Aerobics Union of Bulgaria for more than a decade, Dimitrina was also one of the first athletes to represent her country Bulgaria in the discipline Aerobic Gymnastics. She was a key figure in the development of the discipline on many different levels as athlete, coach, international Brevet 1 judge, Technical Committee member and international events organiser. Our sincere thoughts go out to Dimitrina’s family and friends and the Bulgarian aerobics community. 

Rest in Peace Dimitrina, you will be missed by the European Gymnastics family!
