She is one of the most popular and loved Bulgarian rhythmic gymnast. There is nothing in her sport that she has not done - she can be feminine in one routine, playful in another, but above all, she is always graceful and elegant.
1984 European Championships in Vienna, Austria - 4th AA, 1st Hoop, 2d Ball.
She graduated from the National Sports Academy in Sofia. While she was a student there, she was the star of a motion picture, "Akatamus". The movie was directed by the very talented Bulgarian director, Gueorgui Duylguerov. The routines and the dances in the movie were choreographed with the help of Neshka Robeva. A lot of former and active (at that time) champions participated in the movie. She was also performing her rhythmic gymnastics in an innovative theatrical company, "Theater 13" along with other former gymnasts, and dancers. She also choreographed most of the numbers in the play.
