Elvira Krasnobaeva

Elvira Krasnobaeva (Bulgarian: Елвира Краснобаева; born 10 March 2008) is a rhythmic gymnast who formerly competed for Bulgaria.

There she entered the National School of Arts "Dobri Hristov" as part of the ballet department and continued to train in rhythmic gymnastics as a member of the club "Gracia".

[14] In June, she was selected to represent Bulgaria, along with Dara Stoyanova, at the 2022 European Championships in Tel Aviv, where she won bronze in team, silver with ball and gold with hoop.

[22] Later that month, she competed at the 2024 European Championships with her teammates Nikolova and Boryana Kaleyn, with whom she won the gold medal in the Team event.

On June 15-16, she competed at the Brno Grand Prix in the Czech Republic and won gold in the all-around, ribbon and ball as well as silver with clubs and bronze with hoop.

The Bulgarian Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation ruled that she would be required to pay compensation due to breaking her contract with them.

Her mother disputed how much the federation had provided and said that the coaches had unreasonably high demands of Krasnobaeva given that she had not trained for several months.

She represented the club when she took part in a gala show, "Sky Grace", organized by Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva, which was her first appearance performing gymnastics since leaving Bulgaria.
