Slalom to happiness: Ski ace is in love, engaged and…

In love, engaged – and soon married. Slalom ace Albert Popov from Bulgaria proposed to his long-time girlfriend Denitsa Mari and received a “yes” in response. The 24-year-old recently announced this on social media. “The party continues,” writes the enamored skier from Sofia about the picture that shows him and his future wife on Lake Constance. He also proposed to her there. The 24-year-old Popov has already made a name for himself in the ski scene. The 1,64 meter tall slalom specialist has finished in the top 10 of the World Cup four times, including three times in the prestigious slaloms in Kitzbühel and Schladming. Popov, who is known for his explosive driving style, achieved his best World Cup result a few months ago when he narrowly missed out on his first podium place with fourth place at the World Cup final in Courchevel/Meribel. A tragic story However, Albert Popov also gained notoriety for another, tragic story. On November 17, 2015, he was on the way to the Rettenbachferner in Sölden with his trainer Drago Grubelnik and assistant trainer Mitko Ristov when the car overturned and only came to a stop 270 meters below. Coach Grubelnik died, Ristov was seriously injured, Popov escaped with an ankle injury and a facial injury. “When you see that a person can be gone because of a second of carelessness, you see many things differently,” he said in an interview with the in February 2019 Tyrolean daily newspaper. Popov has recovered from the accident and is now an insider tip in the ski circus. Now he will soon be able to call himself a husband.
