Bulgarians Stiliana Nikolova and Boryana Kaleyn are leading the ranking at the World Cup in Rhythmic Gymnastics in Sofia. So far Stiliana is in first place, Boryana in second and Italian Sofia Raffaelli in third.

After the hoop and ball routines, the two Bulgarians secured their places in the finals of these disciplines.

Despite their disappointing performance, Magdalena Minevska, Sofia Ivanova, Kamelia Petrova, Rachel Stoyanov and Margarita Vassileva will be playing in the hoop final.

The winners of the individual and team all-around competitions will be announced today.
