SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Yordan Yovchev is looking forward to being the first gymnast to compete at six Olympic Games this summer.

The 38-year-old Yovchev helped Bulgaria qualify for the London Games this week.

Yovchev told the Presa newspaper that he expects to enjoy the Olympics in London without any pressure, unlike before when he felt obliged to win a medal.

The four-time world champion has never won an Olympic gold medal.
