The President of the Bulgarian Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation, Iliana Raeva, praised the Bulgarian gymnasts Elvira Krasnobayeva and Eva Brezalieva, who won two silver and one bronze medal in the individual apparatus finals of the World Cup in Baku. Yesterday, in the all-around, Krasnobayeva won a silver medal.
Our ensemble was left out of the draft places in Azerbaijan.
“Three medals for Bulgaria from the finals of the World Cup in Baku. Silver and bronze for Eva Brezalieva in ball and hoop and silver for Elvira Krasnobayeva in ribbon. Well done, girls! Very strong performances for Eva on both devices! Elvira made serious mistakes today on ball and hoop. She did not make expensive elements, and the tape was with inaccuracies and mistakes in the work with the device. Another stable game of the world champion and legitimate gold medals!”, wrote Raeva on the Facebook social network.
Krasnobayeva placed second in the all-around in Baku, and the ensemble has two fourth-place finishes in the all-around and in the ribbons and balls final.
“A silver medal in the all-around for our “star” Elvira! Just a little more… Soon, very soon! It’s a pity that Eva gave away her bronze medal and to her most amazing combination. And it will be with her soon… Elvira will show their combinations in full glory! Love for the whole team! Against the background of an incomprehensible refereeing since yesterday, in fact, Bulgaria showed great ability”, commented the president of the native federation, Iliana Raeva.
In their last appearance on the carpet in Baku, Bulgaria’s ensemble finished fourth in the final with three ribbons and two balls. Magdalina Minevska, Sofia Ivanova, Kamelia Petrova, Rachel Stoyanov and Margarita Vasileva were evaluated with 32.850 (17.500 difficulty; 8.200 artistry; 7.150 performance) and remained one step away from the honorable ladder.
