Absolute European champion Stiliana Nikolova won the women's individual all-around event at the 2024 Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup in Cluj-Napoca (Romania). The world champion Darja Varfolomeev (Germany) won the silver medal and Daria Atamanov (Israel) finished third. The other Bulgarian rhythmic gymnast Boryana Kaleyn came fourth due to some mistakes.
The Bulgarian ensemble comprising Magdalina Minevska, Sofia Ivanova, Kamelia Petrova, Rachel Stoyanov and Margarita Vasileva also earned the privilege of hearing the Bulgarian national anthem. Brazil came second and Israel took third place.
