Antoniya Yordanova (Bulgarian: Антония Йорданова; born 17 August 1976, in Kyustendil) is a retired Bulgarian long jumper.[1] She was selected to compete for the Bulgarian Olympic team in the long jump at the 2004 Summer Olympics after recording a personal best of 6.78 metres from the European Cup First League in the capital Sofia.[2] [3] Yordanova also trained as a member of the athletics squad for the sport club Lokomotiv Plovdiv under her coach and three-time Balkan champion Atanas Atanasov.[2]
Yordanova qualified for the Bulgarian squad in the women's long jump at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[2] Two months before the Games, she jumped 6.78 metres to attain both her personal best and an Olympic A-standard at the European Cup First League in Sofia.[3] [4] During the prelims, Yordanova spanned a striking leap of 6.45 on her first attempt, thirty-three hundredths of a metre shorter than her personal best. With two more attempts receiving lower marks, Yordanova's best result was worthily enough to put her in the twenty-first position against a vast field of thirty-nine long jumpers, nearly missing her a chance to compete for the final round by a tenth of a meter.[5] [6]
