With their magnificent performance, Simona Dyankova, Stefani Kiryakova, Madeleine Radukanova, Laura Traats and Erika Zafirova, won the gold medals and had the honor to listen to the Bulgarian national anthem in the Japanese capital city.
Just like during yesterday’s qualifiers, the Bulgarian girls left the competitors behind and with a total score of 92,100 points from both combinations won the most valuable award that Bulgaria previously missed in this sport.
