Albena Denkova and Maxim Staviski (1786 words)
One of the most inspiring performances at the 2001 World Championships was that of Albena Denkova and her partner Maxim Staviski.
Maxim also had health problems, including being felled by pneumonia for three weeks after the 2000 Europeans, from which they were forced to withdraw.
Since Maxim has his degree from the sports institute, he may go into coaching, especially now that figure skating is more popular in Bulgaria.
Albena Denkova and Maxim Staviski (3152 words)
Maxim: We actually wanted to continue the idea with the free dance but it would be a little difficult with the new judging system because the acrobatic lifts wouldn't be appropriate with this theme.
Maxim: We try to relax and concentrate on the program we are about to do in our minds and try to go through it in our heads before we perform.
Maxim and I do not spend a lot of time on the internet so we are not sure if we could do this, but we will think about it in the future.
