The Bulgarian ensemble consisting of Sofia Ivanova, Alina Kolomiets, Suzan Puladian, Danaya Atanasova and Victoria Georgieva won the title in the all-around at the World Cup in Rhythmic Gymnastics in Baku. The silver medal went to the current Olympic champion China, and the bronze medal went to Ukraine.


Stiliyana Nikolova failed to maintain her provisional first place after performing her routines with ball and hoop and finished third in the all-around. She made inaccuracies in her routines with clubs and ribbon, which were taken advantage of by the champion Sofia Rafaeli from Italy and the runner-up Taisiia Onofriichuk from Ukraine.

The other Bulgarian – Dara Stoyanova, finished seventeenth in her debut at such a high-ranking competition.

The Bulgarian ensemble and Stiliyana Nikolova will play in all the finals of the individual apparatuses today.
