Nadka Golcheva (Bulgarian: Надка Голчева; born 12 March 1952) is a Bulgarian former basketball player who competed in the 1976 Summer Olympics and in the 1980 Summer Olympics.[1]
Golcheva grew up in a small village near Petrich, Bulgaria, in a working-class family. She was the youngest of four children in the family. During the communist era in Bulgaria, most young people participated in different sports activities, which was also the case with her. Initially, she started with athletics, but a local coach invited her to the basketball court, and she joined the team.
Later in an interview, Golcheva admitted that her brother supported and encouraged her the most while the parents were more reserved.
[2] In 1967 Nadka Golcheva's local school team won the regional competition, and a year later, she was also selected for the Bulgarian youth national team. So in 1969, she traveled to the capital Sofia, to join WBC Levski.
