Some highlights from a long interview with 2010 World champion Tatyana Nabiyeva. Source: Russian team page on VK.com. Translation - Google translate A big interview with Tatyana Nabieva about the peculiarities of work and life in China, the bright years of her sports career, a little about modern gymnastics and about love. On the Nabiyeva flight — At the same championship, you presented a new element on the bars, which was later added to the rules with your last name (flying over the top bar with a straight body, difficulty group F. — Sport24). How did you come up with the idea to try something new? — Actually, it happened spontaneously, I think. We worked with Vera Iosifovna [Kiryashova] on the purity of the elements on the bars, sometimes I didn’t fly all the way to the Shaposhnikova element. Once I didn’t fly all the way to the bars either and stood on my feet between the bars, bending my legs in flight for safety. Then Vera Iosifovna said that this was a different eleme...
Queen Elizabeth you should be crowned! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteI am already wearing my tiara (less heavy than a crown).
However, I think that the feed is now down due to weight of traffic.
Trust the Russians to underestimate how much we love them!
actually it worked just fine for me. beautiful sets by Aliya, so glad to see her on all four events! No Mustafina dismount (but a double full was stuck nonetheless) on the bars and a little correction on the low bar, but aside from that a gorgeous routine. her beam was relatively simple, but so very clean. I had some technical difficulty when it came to her floor and since there was no music, I'm not sure whether she did a new routine.. it looked a bit different. her passes are still quite easy but the height is back! and also on the vault- I think she did two- Yurchenko and either a FTY or DTY I wasn't sure, because the angle was weird. Grishina fell twice but her floor was gorgeous. Well, the girls are taking it easy but they're definitely on the right track.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for update. I have been in a meeting so wouldn't have seen it anyway. Very glad to hear that Mustafina is doing so well. Will try to find results later on! Would you mind posting any information you hear?
ReplyDeleteThanks again. x
I barely speak Russian, but here are the first three: Aliya Mustafina 59.something, Ksenia Afanasyeva 58.something, Anastasia Grishina 57.something. The competition has just come to a close. I didn't get a chance to see Afanasyeva's full floor due to a technical problem, but first two passes looked gorgeous. Strong bars and beam. Anna Pavlova did all four events cleanly, but with lack of difficulty. No sign of Nabieva. Belokobylskaya looked quite strong, but I didn't see too much of her. Same with Inshina.
ReplyDeletei've already posted sooo much info on the IG forum (so go there for more info about the meet, also all results are on RGF) but i wanted to leave these links for videos here:

Thank you soooo much. I really appreciate your effort in posting this information here as soon as you can.
ReplyDeleteI have put a post up now with the detailed results and videos. Keep reading and commenting.
I'm so so pleased that Aliya is back. I was choking up earlier thinking of what it must have taken to recover.
