Atamanov will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of her compatriot Linoy Ashram, the Olympic champion from Tokyo 2020, while Kaleyn, who will be competing in her second Olympic Games, will be Bulgaria's second medal hope alongside Nikolova. Another highlight is 16-year-old Taisiia Onofriichuk (UKR) from Ukraine, who is competing in the senior category for the first time this year. Her challenge will be to make it into the top ten after qualifying like all the other 24 participants in order to reach the final.
