Baku, February 3, AZERTAC
A table tennis and foosball tournament took place at the Bulgarian Antarctic Base St. Kliment Ohridski on Livingston Island, according to the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA).
Participants from Bulgaria, Argentina, Colombia, and Romania competed in the event, which was organized in the nearly completed new laboratory building, BTA’s Milena Ostrovska reported.
In both disciplines, participants played in randomly assigned doubles teams. The winners received medals and symbolic prizes from the base commander, Kamen Nedkov. The day continued with good food and music.
The sports equipment was provided with the support of friends of the Bulgarian Antarctic expedition.
"This all happened on a Sunday, which was designated as a rest day, yet some logistical tasks could not be left unattended. Work also continued on some of the projects," Commander Nedkov said.
Among those working on their research were physicist Tsvetan Parov, seismologist Gergana Georgieva, nuclear physicist Vasil Gurev, and telecommunication engineer Ivaylo Nachev.
