Timeline
Yordan Yovchev Yovchev (Йордан Йовчев Йовчев; born February 24, 1973), also spelled Jordan Jovtchev, is a retired Bulgarian gymnast.
He took part in six consecutive Olympic Games, more than any other Bulgarian athlete in Olympic history.
He is president of the Bulgarian Gymnastics Federation and also serves as a sports commentator.
Yovchev was born in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
He, Krasimir Dunev, and Ivan Ivankov moved to the United States after the 1996 Summer Olympics, staying in Detroit, Michigan as they wanted to compete professionally in the United States.
During his career, he turned down proposals to change his sporting allegiance and compete for the United States.
He also won two World Championship Bronze medals in the all around (1999, 2001).
In the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia, he won the bronze on both floor exercise and still rings with 9.787 and 9.762 respectively.
He won silver in the men's rings at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens with a score of 9.850.
In the same Olympic Games, Yovchev won bronze in the men's floor exercise with a score of 9.775.
He coached and trained in Norman, Oklahoma, and Houston, Texas, before moving back to Bulgaria in 2007.
He and his wife, Boriana, have a son, Yordan Jr.
Yovchev made his fifth Olympic team for the Beijing Olympics in 2008, and qualified again for the Rings exercise.
He qualified second with a score of 16.275 under the new scoring system, but missed a handstand and finished the final in last place with a score of 15.525.
In 2009, he was elected president of the Bulgarian Gymnastics Federation.
Yordan Yovchev qualified and participated in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, which was his 6th appearance at the Olympic Games, a record at that time for a gymnast, along with Oksana Chusovitina who also made her 6th Olympic appearance in 2012 (she now holds the record alone, having competed in her 8th Olympics in 2021).
He was also his country's flagbearer during the opening ceremony.
Yovchev officially retired from the sport in February 2013.
He has competed in many SASUKE tournaments, reaching the final stage in the 8th competition; he did not pass the spider climb in the first 15 seconds, so the walls spread apart and he fell.
He is the only competitor to not pass the spider climb in this version of the final stage, other than Shingo Yamamoto who did not complete it due to injury, but his early failure could be attributed to the heavy rain during the entire competition.
Since then he has not passed the third stage.
In 2016, he was inducted in the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame.
