Who is the Nabieva gymnastics move named after?
The Nabieva is an uneven bars release element named after Russian gymnast Tatiana Nabieva. She successfully debuted the skill at the 2010 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Rotterdam. By completing it there, the move was officially entered into the Women's Code of Points under her name.
What makes the Nabieva skill so difficult?
The Nabieva is a Tkachev variant where the gymnast performs a full twisting Tkachev, making it an incredibly complex release move. The gymnast swings over the high bar, does a backward salto, and executes a full 360-degree twist before re-grasping the bar. It was the first Tkachev with a full twist to be successfully competed by a woman.
What is the difficulty rating of the Nabieva in the Code of Points?
The Nabieva is currently rated as an E-tier element in the women's uneven bars Code of Points under the FIG rules. This makes it one of the highest-valued release moves in women's gymnastics. Its high difficulty stems from the precise timing required to complete the full twist before catching the bar.
Did Tatiana Nabieva invent the full-twisting Tkachev?
While male gymnasts had competed variations of twisting Tkachevs previously, Tatiana Nabieva was the first woman to successfully perform the skill at a World Championships. Her execution in 2010 officially added the 'Nabieva' to the women's technical regulations. It instantly set a new benchmark for uneven bars difficulty.
