One gold and two silver medals were won by Bulgarian participants on the first day of the Artistic Gymnastics World Cup in Varna.
On floor, Edi Penev became the champion, and his brother Kevin won the silver medal. European vice-champion Valentina Georgieva also finished second in her crown discipline, vault.

“This is a big victory for our family. It doesn’t matter who of us is first or second – we are both on the podium. What’s more important is that I am back in the medals after last year’s injury,” said Edi Penev.

After the vault final, Valentina Georgieva was taken to Sofia due to suspected appendicitis, as she has been complaining of abdominal pain for several days.

Today, Bulgaria will be represented by four finalists in the competition – Nikol Stoimenova on beam, Edi Penev on vault and Yordan Alexandrov and Daniel Trifonov on balance beam.
