He also won two World Championship Bronze medals in the all around (1999, 2001).

2000

In the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia, he won the bronze on both floor exercise and still rings with 9.787 and 9.762 respectively.

Yovchev made his fifth Olympic team for the Beijing Olympics in 2008, and qualified again for the Rings exercise.

He qualified second with a score of 16.275 under the new scoring system, but missed a handstand and finished the final in last place with a score of 15.525.

2009

In 2009, he was elected president of the Bulgarian Gymnastics Federation.

2012

Yordan Yovchev qualified and participated in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, which was his 6th appearance at the Olympic Games, a record at that time for a gymnast, along with Oksana Chusovitina who also made her 6th Olympic appearance in 2012 (she now holds the record alone, having competed in her 8th Olympics in 2021).

He was also his country's flagbearer during the opening ceremony.

2013

Yovchev officially retired from the sport in February 2013.

2015

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.

Since then he has not passed the third stage.

2016
