Career
Vaseva represented Bulgaria at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed for the women"s 63 kg class. She pinned Guam"s Maria Dunn in the preliminary round of sixteen, before losing out the quarterfinal match to Russia"s Alena Kartashova, with a two-set technical score (0–6, 1–2), and a classification point score of 1–3. Because her opponent advanced further into the final match, Vaseva offered another shot for the bronze medal by entering the repechage bouts.
Unfortunately, she was defeated in the first round by Kazakhstan"s Yelena Shalygina, who was able to score five points each in two straight periods, leaving Vaseva without a single point.
