National Team Championship
From April 23 to 26, the National Team Championship was held in Sofia. Our club participated with 2 teams in children, 2 teams in pre-junior, 2 teams in junior, and one senior team.
The youngest competitors delivered the most convincing performance. They presented their routines with great enthusiasm and motivation. Despite some mistakes, their progress is clearly visible.
The junior competitors faced very strong competition. The pressure took its toll, and not all of them managed to show their true potential.
In the senior category, the participation of national team athletes largely determined the rankings. Our girls performed elegant routines, fully compliant with the regulations, and received well-deserved scores.
The club would like to express its gratitude to the youngest athletes and their parents, who supported them throughout the entire event.
Conclusions from the competition have been drawn, training plans have been updated, and everyone is now looking ahead to the upcoming State Championship in the Elite category “Julieta Shishmanova.”
