MY PERFORMANCE

I ranked 7th in the Men's Rings Final.

I competed in the Bulgarian Cup for the fourth time after the 2007 Bulgarian Cup (8th place in the Rings Final), the 2008 Bulgarian Cup (8th place in the Rings Final), and the 2009 Bulgarian Cup (6th place in the Rings Final). I qualified for the Men's Rings Final, and I was ranked 7th in the final. This was my first competition in which I performed double back somersault on the Rings.
