Thus, Vessela Dimitrova's students came in third place in the final.

For the Bulgarian team, this is the third distinction of the championship in Frankfurt. Before the bronze of the ensemble, our country won silver medals through Stiliyana Nikolova in the individual all-around and in the team classification.
The Bulgarian ensemble will have another chance for a medal later today. The girls will also participate in the final of the composition with three hoops and two pairs of clubs.
