In the same Olympic Games, Yovchev won bronze in the men's floor exercise with a score of 9.775.

He has competed in many SASUKE tournaments, reaching the final stage in the 8th competition; he did not pass the spider climb in the first 15 seconds, so the walls spread apart and he fell.

He is the only competitor to not pass the spider climb in this version of the final stage, other than Shingo Yamamoto who did not complete it due to injury, but his early failure could be attributed to the heavy rain during the entire competition.

During his career, he turned down proposals to change his sporting allegiance and compete for the United States.
