704:; born 2 July 1964) is a Bulgarian weightlifter who competed in the 1980s. He won several World and European medals. He became a bronze medalist at the World Championship in Moscow at 75 kg in 1983. A year later, he was European champion in Vitoria, Spain, and in Friendship Games in Varna again became gold medalist to score much higher than the Olympic champion of Los Angeles. From this it becomes clear that the boycott of Bulgaria at the Games in 1984 deprived Stoichkov of a well-deserved Olympic title. He became second at the European Championship in Poland in 1985. Stoichkov is the winner of the European Weightlifting Cup for 1987 with the Bulgarian team in Miskolc, Hungary.
