Stoeva Sisters Qualify for Olympic Quarterfinals
31/7/2024,
After the Stoeva sisters' win today against American pair
Annie Xu / Kerry Xu and with the victory of Liu Sheng Shu/ Tan Ning [3] (CHN)
against Yeung Nga Ting/ Yeung Pui Lam (HKG), the Bulgarian sisters officially
claim the second place of Group B which means they are qualified for the
quarterfinals.
"We didn’t realise what we did. Seeing Petya [their
coach] crying was a very emotional moment and we just said to ourselves, keep
your emotions," Stefani told Badminton Europe
"We are very happy. We fought for this moment and now we
are so happy that we finally made it," Gabriela continued.
This is a tremendous feat for the Bulgarian pair, who now
for sure have the medals on their minds as they are only two wins away from
competing for Olympic gold, silver, and bronze medals.
"We are ready for the quarterfinals. We will give it
our all and maybe we can surprise ourselves even more."
The quarterfinal draw will occur after the last women's
doubles group match. The last match is estimated to take place at 09:10 PM
(CEST), so the draw will take place at approximately 10:15 PM (CEST).
