Ivan Abadjiev announced that he plans to retire following the Sydney Olympics, and said that nothing will change his mind. Abadjiev is the national weightlifting coach for Bulgaria, and his team is expected to produce an impressive showing in Sydney - a grand performance by the Bulgarian team would be a suitable finale to Abadjiev's career as a preeminent weightlifting coach.
