We present an interview with Bulgarian rhythmic gymnast Stilyana Nikolova, who won the bronze medal in the All-around at the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup held in Baku.

How would you evaluate your performance in the qualification round?
– My feelings are very mixed. I wasn’t able to execute everything perfectly, but I hope that in the near future, everything will go great.

How much more difficult have the routines become under the new Olympic cycle rules?
– Of course, some difficulties have been added. I would say that the competition has intensified a lot. I believe this is very good for the sport.

This isn’t your first time on the podium in Baku.
– Baku has already become a second home for me. Coming here every year has become a sort of tradition. It’s always a pleasure to be here.
