Career

Accident
In June 2016, Stoyanova survived a suicide attempt - she jumped from the sixth floor of her apartment in Sofia just a few days after withdrawing from training due to depression. She was severely injured and underwent multiple surgeries, including having her spleen removed.[2][3][4] She was taken out of intensive care in August 2016 and will continue rehabilitation.[5] Her rhythm gymnastic teammates dedicated their bronze medal in the group all-around competition at the Rio 2016 Olympics to Stoyanova.[6] Stoyanova left the hospital in September,[7] and had her first public appearance in five months by attending the rhythm gymnastics' team farewell show at Arena Armeec in November.[8]
