Bulgarian coach Koeva Mariela enjoyed a day to be thankful on Wednesday as volunteers recovered his lost folder at the rhythmic gymnastics Olympic try-out in Beijing.
"Thank you, thank you very much!" Mariela said to Wang Xiaoxiao, one of the volunteers at the Rhythmic Gymnastics International tournament.
At 10:00 AM on Wednesday, a black folder was found by a volunteer in the hall of Renmin University, one of the training venues for the Olympic trial.
There were a lot of important files in it, including official documents, agendas, accreditation cards and meal tickets.
Worried and anxious, the Bulgaria group discovered that they had lost their folder when they reached the Huadu Hotel. At the pit of anxiety, they received a phone call from Lu Mengchu, the NOC volunteer in charge of the Ukraine group who trained after Bulgarian team. Lu informed Bulgarian group of the lost folder on phone.
After the training of Ukraine group, Lu rushed to the Hotel as soon as he can and handed the folder back to Wang Xiaoxiao, the NOC volunteer in charge of Bulgarian Group.
It was the time for lunch and all the members of the Bulgarian team were waiting outside the dining room without meal tickets.
Wang just arrived at the right moment, bringing Bulgarians not only meals but good memories.
