Tancheva is also the twin sister of fellow rhythmic gymnast Galina Tancheva.

Career

Tancheva made her official debut, along with her twin sister Galina, at the 2003 World Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, where she captured the silver medal for the Bulgarian squad in the group all-around tournament with a composite score of 50.175.[2]

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Tancheva competed as a member of the Bulgarian women's rhythmic gymnastics team in the group all-around tournament, after receiving a qualifying berth from the World Championships.[2] Teaming with Zhaneta Ilieva, Eleonora Kezhova, Zornitsa Marinova, Kristina Rangelova, and her twin sister Galina in the competition, Tancheva performed a double routine using five ribbons (23.400) and a combination of three hoops and two balls (25.200) to deliver the Bulgarian squad a bronze-medal score in 48.600.[3][4][5]
