Medal "Olympic Start 1972".

Here is the "Republic Review Of Sports Schools" "Olympic Start 1972" Medal. It is suggested that it is for being a torch bearer in the Bulgarian leg of the Flame Relay but solid facts are fleeting. The 1972 relay is not the best documented event of the Munich Olympics.

This link should answer most of your questions about the 1972 Munich torch relay.

I saw that some time ago and unfortunately it is rather "generalised". I would think there would be a list in each nation of every torch runner but getting your hands on it is another thing. I did once come across a list of Bulgarian torch runners of 1936 but that is a different game all together.

I'm sure we are looking at Bulgarian runners numbering in the low hundreds and there will be old footage of it somewhere too.

The Olympics (and information pertaining to it) is a completely different world to that of the hobby here but infrequently they do bump into one another.

Some more People's Republic Of Bulgaria items with Olympic rings on them coming soon.
