Albena Denkova and Maxim Staviski, who won bronze at the figure skating World Championships in Washington, received honorary gold badges for being named Athletes of the Month for March by the Bulgarian journalist April 23.

Twenty-two out of all twenty six journalists cast their votes for the figure skating couple.

The medal won by the Bulgarian couple was a historic result as Bulgaria had never been medaled in World Championships.

The team had opted for an unusual Egyptian themed dance and completed intricate footwork, strong lifts with changes of position, lift out of a spin and an excellent dance spin. Their marks were as high as 5.8 for both technical merit/required elements and presentation.
