General
CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP
She was born in Canada as her parents lived there for a period and therefore also holds Canadian citizenship. "There has never been an option to compete for another country such as Canada, and even if there had been, I will not do it. I am Bulgarian and love my country, and will compete for Bulgaria."

CHILDHOOD
Her younger years were dissimilar to most children. "I admit that I did not have a normal childhood. I was not like most kids who have played and did what they wanted to all day. I was all day in the gym for eight to nine hours until the evening. Only then I sat down to study, for one to two hours at night. Then rising for school at seven in the morning. That is until seventh grade when I received an individual learning plan." (beautyinsport.com, 10 Oct 2014)
