Bulgarian rhythmic Gymnastics Captain: We played like lions

"We are truly happy that our careers will end in this way, that finally our hard work has been rewarded and that we did everything in our powers to improve Bulgarian rhythmic gymnastics,'' shared Mihaela Maevska, the captain of the Bulgarian team, with the Bulgarian National Television.

"We cried a lot because of every girl in the individual competition, we were experiencing the competition with them. We were thinking about how much we want an Olympic medal. That's why today we left our hearts and souls in the competition,'' she added.

''Thank you for staying with us through thick and thin for all these years! We will never forget your support! This win is for you!" the whole team said.

''I am super happy for these girls and altogether for the whole team and all the work that we've done. It was worth it!,'' said head coach of the Bulgarian national team Inna Ananieva.
