Stoychev\u2019s versatility in open water swimming is unprecedented. A superman in the water, he has been able to cross great channels and swim in extreme conditions with water temperatures ranging from 35 to 90 degrees. He was the first swimmer to cross the English Channel in under seventy minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Born on October 24, 1976 in Momchilgrad, Bulgaria, Stoychev started to practice swimming at the age of six in the town of Smolyan, under the guidance of his first coaches\u00a0<strong>Evelina<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Ognyan Georgiev<\/strong>. This little boy from the Rhodope Mountains could hardly have dreamed then that he would compete in four Olympic Games and become one of the greatest open water swimmers in history.<\/p>\n<p>Stoychev made his first international success in 1992, when the 16 year old swimmer placed fourth in the 400-meter freestyle at the European Junior Championships. After that, in the same year, he made his open water debut at the annual Ohrid Swimming Marathon in Macedonia, where he placed second. This was when Stoychev realized that his strength was in longer distances and challenging conditions in the open water. At the 1995 European Open Water Championships in Austria, Stoychev managed to place sixth at the 5 kilometer swimming event and 12th in the 25 kilometer. Then, he slowly gave up swimming in the warm and luxurious pools and started to swim in the open waters of marathon swimming, organized by the International Swimming Federation (FINA).<\/p>\n<p>Stoychev enters the ISHOF with more than 60 international marathon victories to his credit. Remarkably, he has won international championships in waters that have ranged in temperature from 2\u00b0C (35.6\u00b0F) to 32\u00b0C (89.6\u00b0F). He won the FINA World Cup\/World Series titles eleven consecutive years, from 2001 \u2013 2011. He also won the Travers\u00e9e Internationale du Lac Memphr\u00e9magog in Magog, Canada (34 km), Lac Saint-Jean in Roberval, Canada (32 km) and the Ohrid Lake, Macedonia Swimming Marathon (30-km) each 11 consecutive times. In 2007, he became the first to swim the English Channel in under seven hours, with a time of 6:57.5.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_299754\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"299754\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/open-water-swimmer-petar-stoychev-to-enter-international-swimming-hall-of-fame\/petar-stoychev-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Petar-Stoychev-3-e1520567983351.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"400,561\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Bulgaria&#8217;s Petar Stoychev displays his gold medal for the men&#8217;s 25km open water race at the 14th FINA World Championships in Shanghai July 23, 2011.

In Beijing, in 2008, Stoychev was Bulgaria\u2019s flag bearer at the opening ceremony. Petar Stoychev is not only an open water swimmer whose versatility is unprecedented, but he takes an active role popularizing swimming in Bulgaria and around the world.
