The current European champion Stiliana Nikolova has qualified for all four apparatus finals at the Pharaohs Cup 2024 international rhythmic gymnastics tournament in Cairo. She performed excellently in all four routines, receiving the highest scores: 36.250 on ball, 35.900 on hoop, 33.650 on clubs, and 32.950 on ribbon.

The competition does not have an all-around event, only qualifications.

If Stiliana Nikolova repeats her solid performance today, she has a chance to win four gold medals in competition with the tournament's strongest gymnasts from Uzbekistan, Slovenia and the United States.

An interesting detail is that the Bulgarian gymnast was born in Cairo, but moved to Bulgaria at the age of thirteen to pursue her dream of competing at the highest level. She is the daughter of world rhythmic gymnastics champion Paulina Nikolova and former professional football player Ilia Dyakov.
