“my problem with the nabieva downgrade is that if you look at the other F skills, it’s *obviously* harder than them. it should have stayed a G, and the judges can do their fucking jobs and properly deduct for body form and flexed feet mmkay?”

Julia Forestier is working on the Nabieva !

French junior Julia Forestier (2003) is working on a Nabieva ! A lot of missed attempts but she eventually catches it at the end !

Julia is one of the top junior in France, she has great charisma and elegance. She still lacks a bit of difficulty but she is a pleasure to watch. Check out her last competition at Combs-La-Ville after coming back from a femur stress fracture that kept her out of EYOF : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09kDc6SXt0U

1. “ Nabieva critiquing people doing her skill with the wrong form is hilarious and honestly? As she should ! “

2. “ It’s been a whole 5 years and I still cannot bring myself to enjoy Derwael’s bars. She hardly points her toes and her handstands are just not it, not to mention that her Nabieva is horrendous. “

“I know Nina’s Nabieva form isn’t perfect but I’m just so impressed she can do it at all given her height! Very cool seeing a tall gymnast from a country with a smaller programme performing at her level. “

“ I love the Nabieva release, but what bothers me about it is that it makes it almost impossible to NOT have flexed feet when flying over the high bar. Obviously a flexed foot is to prevent the gymnast from smacking the bar and having a really bad accident, but have we seen ANY gymnast execute that release with pointed toes, glued together? “
