Nothing seems more suitable for a holiday mood than a Teodora Alexandrova routine. Should you feel uncertain that Christmas miracles, or miracles in general, do happen, just watch this routine:
I have been fortunate to watch Teodora both train and perform and I always felt that she brings a unique uplifting feeling to anyone who loves gymnastics, dance, and movement in general. If there is anything that someone less talented than Teodora can learn from her, it is to love what you do at over 100% and to give it your 120%. Occasionally, someone like her comes up like a bright star on the gymnasics horizon and brings more than athleticism and elegance. They bring a miraculous sparkle of joy and warmth.
Merry Christmas, fans!

So I found a very old routine of hers, to remind us that, even when she was still 15, her style was not only discernible;it was unforgettable:
Cheers to the fans!

Strong Ball Routine from Neviana Vladinova at the Italian Nationals
Fans, if you have missed this Bulgarian gymnast, who is actually not even part of the Bulgarian national team, here is an impressive routine from the Italian Nationals where she represents the club "Arcobaleno Prato."
She is a bit cautious with some of the risks and difficulty but she scored high in the 25's for the routine, and, with a smoother performance, she should be getting over 26. Which puts her ahead of Stoyanova, Mateva and even Kisse in my book.
Here is Neviana's hoop, a routine filled with interesting work with the apparatus and many very risky throws:
I am looking for more/better quality video from Italy, especially of Neviana, so please, please let me know, if any of you upload any!
For now I also have a fan montage of Neviana:
