Tsvetelina Yordanova Stoyanova (Bulgarian: Цветелина Йорданова Стоянова; born 13 September 1994 in Sofia, Bulgaria) is a Bulgarian group rhythmic gymnast. She is the 2008 European Junior bronze medalist in rope. She won the gold medal in the Group-all around the 2014 World Championships.

Career

Stoyanova is member of the Bulgarian National team since 2006 and competed in international competitions since 2008. Stoyanova is a veteran and competed in numerous world championships, including at the 2014 World Championships where she was member of the Bulgarian Group that won gold in the group all-around and silver in 3 Balls/2 Ribbons. She competed at the 2015 European Games in Baku. At the 2015 World Championships, the Bulgarian group won a silver in group all-around and bronze medal in 6 Clubs/2 Hoops.[1]

Accident

In June 2016, Stoyanova survived a suicide attempt - she jumped from the sixth floor of her apartment in Sofia just a few days after withdrawing from training due to depression. She was severely injured and underwent multiple surgeries, including having her spleen removed.[2][3][4] She was taken out of intensive care in August 2016 and will continue rehabilitation.[5] Her rhythm gymnastic teammates dedicated their bronze medal in the group all-around competition at the Rio 2016 Olympics to Stoyanova.[6] Stoyanova left the hospital in September,[7] and had her first public appearance in five months by attending the rhythm gymnastics' team farewell show at Arena Armeec in November.[8]
