Elena Mihaylova and Ivilin Madzharov have qualified for the mixed synchronised trampoline final in the 11–12 age group at the World Age Group Competitions in Nanjing. Bulgaria's pair scored 45.89 in qualification and will contest the medals in a final scheduled for Sunday, 15 November.
The official programme and results were checked before publication. There is no final placing or medal result for the pair at this stage. The event should also be distinguished from the senior world championships, which took place earlier in November.
Fourth score, third qualifying pair
Mihaylova and Madzharov recorded the fourth-highest total among 17 pairs. They are marked Q3 in the official results because only one pair per nation advances to the eight-pair final. A second Chinese combination finished ahead of them but did not take another final place.
China's Danzeng Nima and Wang Yiru led with 47.49, followed among the qualifiers by Georgia's Giorgi Delibashvili and Nino Markozashvili on 46.01. Bulgaria's Georgi Belovodski and Nikol Filipova finished ninth overall with 42.65 and did not qualify.
Synchronised trampoline requires the two athletes to match their routines as well as execute their own elements. The Bulgarian qualifiers' total includes a synchronisation component of 19.04.
Qualification establishes access to the medal round; it does not guarantee a podium finish. For the Bulgarian pair, the next confirmed step is the Sunday final, rather than a completed result to celebrate or explain.
