He scored 72.49m in his best attempt and was only behind world rankings leader Thomas Williams (Ireland), who registered 73.95m, Athletics magazine reported.

"With your results you have shown that Bulgaria has a talented generation in athletics, which will delight us even more at the big sports forums," Bulgarian prominent athlete and President of the Bulgarian Olympic Committee (BOC) Stefka Kostadinova stated.

The competitions in Banska Bystritsa continue.
