We assume that analyzing the best Bulgarian hurdlers of all time we can help improvement of selection and training processes control. The aim of the following study is to analyze the sport development of the best Bulgarian 110 m hurdlers. For the purposes of the study we gathered information regarding their best results during their sport careers-all record holders and hurdlers left trace in the discipline are included in the study. All data was processed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS 19.0 applying variance and correlation analysis. The study results present the specific model characteristics of the sport result valid for Bulgarian hurdlers, such as sport realization and talent development, etc. Based on research data we developed evaluation tables for sport result realization based on respondents-ready for immediate use in sport practice. Also as a help for practice we present regression models for sport results prognosis. Also, we present information which must be used as a role model for sport development of future world elite hurdlers.

Influence on the process has many outer factors. Establishing the competition calendar in the year of the main competition (Olympic Games) and secondary ones is a great difficulty. These difficulties are compounded by aggravating factors such as a fading global pandemic and travel difficulties. In addition, participation in commercial tournaments is another major part of the competition calendar. The main aim of the following study is to analyze and model the competition periodization of elite 110 m hurdles during the Olympic year (2021). Respondents are all participants in the Olympic tournament in the chosen discipline-in total, 39 athletes. We found different tactics regarding participation in competitions during the Olympic year. Also, we found a different pattern of sports result utilization before a major competition. All finalists do not take part in the competition 20 days before the heats of the Olympic games. Some athletes participate in 60 m hurdles discipline just to check their sports form, others search for top performance in indoor competitions. The number of race days varies between 10 and 21 an (average of 16) for the finalists. After participating in the Olympic games, most of the athletes participated in a few commercial tournaments and no later than the middle of September, they finished race season. Based on the results, we can improve the training process and competition planning based on the experience of worldclass hurdlers. We must consider that sometimes participation in the competition is canceled due to other factors such as injuries or travel problems. Also, we propose annual competition models based on elite hurdler performance during the Olympic year.

The aim of the study is to reveal the specifics of the training model. The main tasks are: reveal the individual model of competition and the specifics of the sports training, concerning the structure and distribution of training means. The analysis is based on the orientation of the training methodical units, which are primarily related to the individual disciplines of athletic pentathlon. The ratio of the relative and absolute number of methodical units is revealed and we also present their dynamics over time. Total volume of used athletic means during the preparation period was also determined. The individualities of the record holder define the competitor as a jumper-runner type athlete, according to the given highest scores of the disciplines high jump and 800 m running using the IAAF scoring table. Estimating of specific features of structure and content of the training process reveals reserves for optimizing its characteristics in order to develop some parameters of the training model, according the given age and specific characteristics of the athlete. Such a parameter is the number of training sessions. Mainly one training session a day is made. With an appropriate increase of the number of sessions made, it will be possible to increase the number of methodical units in those pentathlon disciplines which have not been sufficiently affected in the training process, which will inevitably improve the sporting results.

AIM: To reveal the main directions and milestones determining the specificity of the training model when placing the pentathlon national record for girls under 18 years of age. Objectives 1. To estimate the athlete's type according her competitive activity as a criteria. 2. Disclosing the specifics of the athlete's sports training process, conserning the structure and the distribution of the arsenal of used athletic means. 3. Establishing the type of the used athletic means according (special, specialized, auxiliary[5]).

For this purpose, we analyze the one of the oldest Bulgarian athletic tournaments and compared it to the world elite for the corresponding year, so we can bring out information regarding most popular disciplines and their level. The period covered by our analysis is 11 years (2009-2019). A detailed comment is made both on each discipline, group of discipline and results divided by gender. We examined sport results from the tournament and the world elite for the period of the study and compared them by results (seconds, minutes, meters) and by applying the result from IAAF scoring tables.
