In the event finals, she won gold with ball and ribbon and bronze with hoop. At the World Games in Birmingham, she won hoop gold and silver for ribbon.

At the European Championships in Baku, Kaleyn won her first European title after competing the last routine in the all-around final.[19] She also won gold in the team competition, silver with clubs, and bronze with hoop. At the World Championships in Valencia, she came in sixth in the all-around final after dropping her apparatus in two routines.[20] However, she won team gold with the rest of the Bulgarian team, along with silver medals in clubs and ribbon.[21]

2024: Olympic silver medalist

[edit]

Kaleyn's routines for the 2024 season were unusual in that they were connected rather than separate and intended to portray the personal story of her career. Her ribbon music was composed especially for her.[22]

In April, Kaelyn competed at the World Cup held in Sofia, Bulgaria. There she won the all-around ahead of fellow Bulgarian Stiliana Nikolova and Daria Atamanov. She qualified to every apparatus final and won silver with clubs.[23] Both Kaleyn and Nikolova expressed gratitude for the supportive home crowd and stated that they were aiming to win gold at the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics.[24] At the end of April, she competed at the next World Cup in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, where she came in bronze in the all-around; she again qualified to every apparatus final and won a second bronze with hoop.[25]

Ahead of the European Championships, Kaleyn participated in the inaugural Rhythmic Gymnastics European Cup, which had an unusual knock-out round format for the all-around final. In the apparatus finals, she won gold in ball and ribbon and silver with hoop behind Sofia Raffaeli. She said that she was happy to be competing in the same arena where had won the European Championship the previous year.[26] At the European Championships, she ended in fourth place in the all-around after mistakes in her hoop and ball routines.[27] However, she went on to win bronze in the clubs final and gold in the hoop final, the first European hoop title for Bulgaria since 1988, and she won gold in the team competition with the other Bulgarian competitors.[28][29]

Kaleyn was chosen to represent Bulgaria at the 2024 Olympics. After the European Championships, she revised her routines.[30] At the last competition before the Olympics, the World Challenge Cup in Cluj-Napoca in July, she finished fourth in the all-around and qualified for three apparatus finals.[31] She won a bronze with ball.[32]

In August, she competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics. She qualified for the all-around final in third place. In the final, she won the silver medal, which was the first for Bulgaria in individual rhythmic gymnastics since Adriana Dunavska won silver at the 1988 Summer Olympics.[33] She said afterward, "When I was six years old I started to train gymnastics with this dream to win an Olympic medal. That finally came true."[34]

After the award ceremony, Iliana Raeva, the president of the Bulgarian Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation, called Kaleyn ‘The Queen’ and said she had never had such a successful competition, with eight out of eight routines performed with a high level of difficulty and without mistakes.[35][36]

Kaleyn announced her retirement from the sport on December 9th.[37] At the same time, the Bulgarian Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation announced the final selection for the new individual national team.[38] Kaleyn was replaced by Eva Brezalieva.[39]

Style

[edit]

Kaleyn is distinctive in her approach to rhythmic gymnastics for her routine music choices, which use a diverse array of styles from folk music to heavy metal and alternative rock. She has said that "If I listen to the music for the first time and I cannot imagine how I would perform to that music or what movements I would do and where, I know this is not my music." Her choreography has been described as creative.[7][40] She is also known for her strong work with fouetté turns and her ability to perform a number of revolutions.[7]

Kaleyn's routines for the Paris Olympics are considered innovative, as the four routines were connected to tell her story about her path in rhythmic gymnastics. The storyline begins with the hoop routine, which focuses on her childhood years in the gym when everything was easy. The ball routine is about the time when Kaleyn began winning medals at major competitions, while the clubs routine is about the difficulties she experienced. The story ends with the ribbon routine and is about the last part of her career, in which she found faith in herself. The music and the final poses of the four compositions serve as a link between them. Each routine begins with the final music and the final pose of the previous one in the sequence.[22][41][42]
