Stoyanova is member of the Bulgarian National team since 2006 and competed in international competitions since 2008. Stoyanova is a veteran and competed in numerous world championships, including at the 2014 World Championships where she was member of the Bulgarian Group that won gold in the group all-around and silver in 3 Balls/2 Ribbons.

In June 2016, Stoyanova survived a high fall - she fell from the sixth floor of her apartment in Sofia just a few days after withdrawing from training due to health problems. She was severely injured and underwent multiple surgeries, including having her spleen removed.[2][3][4] She was taken out of intensive care in August 2016 and will continue rehabilitation.[5] Her rhythm gymnastic teammates dedicated their bronze medal in the group all-around competition at the Rio 2016 Olympics to Stoyanova.[6] Stoyanova left the hospital in September,[7] and had her first public appearance in five months by attending the rhythm gymnastics' team farewell show at Arena Armeec in November.[8]
