The Stoevas, On Sisterhood and Lockdown Life

After living, training, and playing together for many years, sisters Stefani and Gabriela Stoeva made the conscious decision to choose separate routes for their university education.

The opportunity arrived when they chose to attend college, something Stefani says she "never expected to happen." However, the circuit's suspension had opened up opportunities for them outside of badminton.

"Everywhere we go, we live together, share the hall, and are together. We only made various decisions for our study. We're going to be working on things independently for the first time," explains Stefani.

"I applied to the National Sports Academy. It will be like something fresh because I have been concentrating on badminton for a long time, something I never anticipated happening. There are drawbacks to living together all the time, such as the fact that we argue frequently and over trivial issues, but this is typical of our sister relationship. We can't wait to begin university and study alone now.

In the months preceding the circuit's suspension, the Stoevas had a mixed record of luck. They now hold the No. 15 spot in the global rankings after finishing second in the Barcelona Spain Masters and failing at the All-England preliminary round.

The Stoevas are grateful that they were able to spend time with their family during the two months of lockdown that followed the All England. They were living in Bulgaria at the time.

The lockdown has both advantages and disadvantages. Stefani remarked, "We are grateful that we were able to spend so much time with family and take a mental break from the burden of competitions.

"We didn't spend so much time with our family for a long time," Gabriela said. "We are able to perform tasks that we were unable to perform while playing badminton. Thus, the benefit outweighs the negative. Our dog, who hadn't seen us in a while, was extremely delighted to see us. This was the most effective approach to allow us to recover and regain our motivation when the competitions resume.

The Stoevas are still committed to badminton and want to compete in the next two Olympics, even though their current circumstances have given them some breathing room from their demanding badminton lifestyle.

Gabriela Battles Painful Back; Stoevas in Quarters

Stefani and Gabriela Stoeva, sisters from Bulgaria, were overjoyed to be in their first World Championship quarterfinals, especially as Gabriela is still healing from a debilitating back ailment.

Because of a pinched nerve in her back, the Stoevas were defeated by a walkover in their semifinal match at the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2021. After experiencing the illness throughout their 30-hour journey to Huelva and being unable to move from their bed in Bali, the Stoevas had considered pulling out of the TotalEnergies BWF World Championships 2021.

To their astonishment, the Stoevas advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating Chloe Birch and Lauren Smith with a commanding performance, 21-10 21-9, thanks to medicine and physiotherapy in Huelva.

We're thrilled to be in the quarterfinals of our inaugural World Championships. Since we didn't have a coach and were by ourselves on the court, we were encouraging one another, Stefani added. "I made an effort to cover the majority of the court so she couldn't play from behind. But now, I believe she's fine.

In Bali, I was unable to move for three days, and the two days of travel were excruciating," Gabriela remarked.

"After arriving here, we visited the hospital to consult with a physician and inquire about our eligibility to participate in the competition. After the second injection, I received some physiotherapy and injections, and things improved. I'm grateful to Sindhu for introducing me to her Bali-based therapist, who was really helpful. There, she examined me and relieved some of my agony. It was awful that I had to lie down on the plane but could only sit up. I'm relieved that the agony is subsiding because I went five days without eating or rest.

"She (Stefani) was my therapist, and I was waking up at two and five in the morning.We are overjoyed because, in the World Championships, we have never advanced past the second round.
