Bulgaria made their World Championships debut in 1934. However, it wasn't until 1974 when Andrey Keranov won Bulgaria its first medal, a bronze on floor exercise.[1] In 1981 Zoya Grancharova became the first Bulgarian female artistic gymnast to win a medal at the World Championships, winning a bronze on floor exercise.[2] Yordan Yovchev has won the most World Championship medals for Bulgaria; he won 13 medals between 1995 and 2009.[3]
