Anelia Ralenkova (Bulgarian: Анелия Раленкова; born December 25, 1963 in Sofia, Bulgaria) became one of Bulgaria's most distinctive rhythmic gymnasts. She is one of the so-called "Golden Girls" of Bulgaria. She won gold medals at both world[1] and European championships, but missed competing at the Summer Olympics in 1984 due to the Soviet-led boycott.[2] Her coaches were Zlatka Boneva and Neshka Robeva.
In 1991 she started her own Rhythmic Academy in Redmond, Washington, United States.
