The winner in the up to 4th grade group is Ekaterina Basheva, also from Russe. She won the final round, in competition with Georgi Avramov from Varna. Ultimately, Anton became champion after spelling attainment from the unfamiliar words list correctly. After he won, Anton said the secret behind his success was spelling with eyes closed.
