Two Bulgarian sportsmen – Veselin Ovcharov and Nicola Abadjiev - will traverse the country from west to east along the River Danube.  They will be racing for time, with the former paragliding over the Danube River valley, and the latter kitesurfing along the river itself. The joint project of the two athletes is entitled "Water and Air Need Good Wings".

The race, which is planned for 7 AM on 20 June, will start at Novo Selo, Vidin district, and will be streamed online.
