Maria Mineva takes her leave

 

Vice-President of the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) Aerobic Gymnastics Technical Committee, Maria Mineva (BUL), succumbed to illness on October 11, 2014 in Sofia (BUL). She was in her 65th year.

Born on January 6, 1950, Mineva led an exemplary career teaching high-level academic sport in the Bulgarian capital. A professor of the National Sport Academy and expert in gymnastics discipline, educator, and trainer, her life had an impact on several generations of emerging gymnasts.

Elected Vice-President of the Aerobic Gymnastics Technical Committee at the FIG Congress in Marrakech (MAR) in 2000, Mineva was quickly recognized for her commitment, expertise and gift for human relations. Discreet and attentive, she inspired a friendly environment that fostered connection and camaraderie in all circumstances.
