Stiliana Nikolova won a silver medal in the all-around at the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup in Sofia. A step out of bounds during her ribbon routine cost her the chance to challenge for first place.


The title went to Ukraine's Taisiia Onofriichuk, Uzbekistan's Takhmina Ikromova took bronze and Bulgaria's second gymnast Eva Brezalieva finished seventh.


The Bulgarian ensemble of Sofia Ivanova, Rachel Stoyanov, Alina Kolomiets, Susan Puladian, Danaia Atanasova and Viktoria Georgieva finished fourth in the all-around. After flawless ribbons on the first day, the Bulgarians made mistakes in their ball and hoop routine and failed to make the podium where Spain, Japan and Poland shared the medals.


The individual apparatus finals will take place today.
