Sonia Radeva

Sonia Radeva (, born 11 March 1985 in Sofia) is a Bulgarian former competitive figure skater. She is a seven-time consecutive Bulgarian national champion (2003–2009) and reached the free skate at two ISU Championships – the 2005 European Championships in Turin, Italy, and the 2006 European Championships in Lyon, France.

Biography Radeva began skating at age 4 after she went to the rink with her mother and sister. She won seven consecutive national titles from 2003 to 2009 and came second at the Bulgarian Championships in the 2010–2011 season behind Hristina Vassileva.

During her career, Radeva worked as a caterer and then as a children's coach to pay for skating costs.

In 2006, Radeva made her only appearance on the Grand Prix series when she competed at the 2006 Trophée Éric Bompard. There she placed 11th in the short program and moved up to 10th place overall after the free skate.

In 2008, she injured her meniscus. Though she did not skate well at the Bulgarian Championships, she still won and was sent to the 2009 European Championships. The Bulgarian Skating Federation highlighted that they did not have many resources to assist and prepare athletes like Radeva.

Radeva herself later said that many athletes competing for Bulgaria trained outside of the country due to a lack of resources.
