During the final of the men’s 50 fly at the 2019 World Junior championships, 16-year-old Josif Miladinov swam his way to a bronze medal and Buglarian national record.

Miladinov also is a member of the 4×100 medley relay and 4×100 free relay national record teams to bring his national records count to four.
