60 YEARS NATIONAL SPORTS ACADEMY

Prof. Raina Bardareva, Prof. Raiko Petrov

This chronicle, created with sense of duty, has the ambition to remind of the birth of the National Sports Academy – 15 November 1942, and to send messages. It’s understandable: we also need in our New times a Legacy, written in the context of the gained wisdom. As far as each chronicle is a lesson, we use the past – sometimes simple, sometimes impressive – which gave our school the right to exist as the only one of its kind.

Because showiness and feelings are oppositions, with which the humanity lives, the subject-matter is searching for statements of constructiveness and welfare. The evaluation is subordinate to the millennia – man and society, man – “criterion for everything” and the society – wise and impious, with its characteristic temporary limits.
A limit is also the founded 60 years ago State higher school for physical education (SHSPE). A limit for ideas, events and selfless persons. As the first: Prof. Georgi Karaivanov, Prof. Dr. Rusi Radkov, Prof. Georgi Gizdov, Ass.prof. Borislav Iordanov, Ass.prof. Dimitar Grigorov, and the hundreds after them, united by a thought out attitude – to overcome the old reflexes and to give a new meaning of the physical education. The next pages are devoted to them and to their noetic heroism.
