Stefan Botev, bronze medalist in the superheavyweight category in weightlifting at the Atlantic Olympics, said he is trying to regain top form for the Sydney Olympics later this year. Botev had suffered a shoulder injury that some thought would end his career, and for a while, his lifting future was in doubt. Now on the road to recovery, Botev has resumed training, and is making a serious bid to challenge for another Olympic medal.
