Yana Kasova

Yana Kasova (; born 13 August 1981) That same year she won the national title in the 100 m hurdles and the 60 metres hurdles indoors. She failed to defend these titles in 2001 and did not have much success internationally either,

Kasova won the third and last of her national titles at the Bulgarian Indoor Championships at the start of 2002. This time ranked her tenth in the world for that year, and third among Europeans. Desislava Mutafchieva was the winner at the Bulgarian Championships that year,

The following year she ran 12.95 seconds at the start of June (ultimately ranking in the global top forty that season). However, this proved to be the last time she ran that fast, as she suffered a severe injury to her left foot during training, breaking the bone and having surgery as a result. She attempted a return, but additional complications forced her to retire from athletics.

She finished her career ranking fourth on the all-time Bulgarian rankings for the 100 m hurdles, behind world record breakers Yordanka Donkova, Ginka Zagorcheva and world medallist Svetla Dimitrova.
