The last day of the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup in Baku began with many mistakes for the Bulgarian athletes.
Our ensemble, which won the title in the all-around, remained fourth in the final with five ribbons behind the teams of China, Israel and Kazakhstan. The bronze medalist in the all-around, Stiliyana Nikolova, won two seventh places in the finals of the ball and hoop.

After the subsequent turnaround, Stiliyana Nikolova ranked second in clubs, and the gold went to the Olympic champion Daria Varfolomeev from Germany. Despite playing her ribbon at a high level, the Bulgarian remained in fourth place.

Sofia Ivanova, Alina Kolomiets, Suzan Puladian, Danaya Atanasova and Viktoria Georgieva won a bronze medal for their combination with three balls and two hoops. The gold medal went to the team of Japan, and the silver to China.

The balance of the second World Cup of the year for the Bulgarian women is one gold medal, one silver and two bronze.
