Stiliyana Nikolova became European champion in rhythmic gymnastics after a brilliant performance at the championship in Budapest.
She played her routines without mistake. Stili started with a great bat performance and got 36.050 points, then on tape it was also perfect and was rated 34.800 points. These are the highest ratings of both devices. Nikolova was also unique and scored 35.700 points, and in her last exit on the carpet with a ball she was unattainable and was rated with an incredible 37.200 points.
Last year in Baku 2023 she ranked third after Boryana Kaleyn and Sofia Rafaeli, but this time she showed her exceptional class and took the gold categorically with a huge difference through the other gymnasts.
The total asset of Stili is 143.750. The silver medal goes to Sofia Rafaeli from Italy with a total of 139.750. Third is Daria Varfolomeyev from Germany with a total of 138.450.
Kaleyn remained a step away from the medal and finished in fourth position. He finished the race with a total of 135.550 (34.150 on the hoop, 33,300 on the ball with a drop, 33.800 on the tape and 34.300 on the bats).
This is the last important competition for our gymnasts before the Olympics in Paris. /BGNES
