Tatiana Nabieva (RUS) Japan Cup 2009 Vault

[Planetimage2]

Yurchenko two and three quarter

[BontasFan]

@alexlam330 It's actually a 6.8.

[mikfsa]

Her form is hideous and she looks so smug, thinking her vault is actually good...

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@mikfsa It is good. And she doesn't look smug. She's proud, as she should be.

[mikfsa]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 quality over quantity...

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@mikfsa The quality is not absolutely horrendous. At least I don't fear for her life watching this vault like I do for many others...

[alexlam330]

thriple twist is 6.8 or 7.4?

[ParanoidAndroidDA]

@alexlam330 If it follows the same pattern it should be a 7.4. This is just an over-rotated amanar though, she lands with her feet forward and then steps round because the top half of her body is still twisting.

[lawofjude]

her form is terrible, she really needs to work on it.....it makes her look at bit lazy, bent legs and crossed feet, not clean at all. She should take some hints from Maroney.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@mlee96 @gymfrombrazil 6.8.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

I'm starting to think people are too hard on her form. It's really not that bad.

[FanGymnastic]

Sì, un Amanar ma da come è finito il salto sembrava volesse fare tre avvitamenti. Possibuile?

[13shifter]

Dose anybody else find it strange that prior to the she never competed an Amanar before and then decided to do a triple???:P

[Ccgirl4]

That was horrible. holy moly.

[andreakumar1990]

davai davai davai...stoi!! i've definitely learned those two russian words from watching gymanstics

[jerseyguy41ife]

she is sooooooooo SLOPPPPYYYY.. omg clean up girl

[paiges38]

MY EYES!!!!!

[amwanjiru]

SLOPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All I can say. She and Aliya need to pay a visit to Courtney McCool or Shawn Johnson. I prefer that Aliya and Tatiana stay with a DTY.

[FlicTuckFull]

@amwanjiru

Yea, because Shawn Johnson was a true MASTER at completing her "amanar."

[brdbarreira]

@FlicTuckFull True. Shawn didn't completed almost all of her Amanars on Beijing

[FlicTuckFull]

@brdbarreira

She never completed an amanar in her life actually.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@FlicTuckFull This looks more than fully completed...

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@amwanjiru Even their DTY form is terrible.

[nastierlookin]

best pretend triple twist i've ever seen

[GymnasticsFan1144]

sloppy....but great power!

heard she's training a TTY and so is McKayla Maroney from the US (i heard Martha say it in an interview) it'd be amazing to see!

[MRdavenport2010]

bad form yes.she over rotated an aminar.she has time to clean it up and maybe suprise the world with a nabieva vault.who knows i always like the under dog.

[sublunar82]

that was terrible technique. doesn't she know she will twist faster if her knees aren't so bent. sheesh.

[KVHolland3]

I think she might not have cared how many times she went around just twist as much as possible and land it. If your lucky you'll get around a triple. Maybe just try to control and definatley clean up the form.

[Tribute2the80s]

I saw a comment on a montage on Youtube about 2.5 Yurchenkos that Tanya said in an interview after this competition that she was supposed to do a 2.5 twist here, but is also training a triple.

[13shifter]

the number of the vault was 435 wich is an amanar but she threw at TTY? what would be the number and value of a TTY?

[missmouse35]

i dont think they will count this vault in the COP until the FIG determines that the twists are properly rounded. for now though, judges will probobly score the vault somewhere arund a 6.9 or a 7.0

[nikirififo]

@13shifter Maybe 4.36

[Tribute2the80s]

@13shifter But if she did that wouldn't she have a huge penalty for throwing a different vault than advertised?

[13shifter]

@Tribute2the80s yah that was what i was thinking but i dont know she might have just dont the triple by accident. if you pause it exactly when she lands, she is facing strait but her head is turned backwards so i think it was a mistake and she was just trying to cover it up

[kamkamju]

extremely ugly

[Gymlover1984]

Did she attempt an amanar or a TTY?

From the slowmotion it seems as she tries to cover an underrotated triple rather than an overrotated amanar?

[javajunkie6]

it was an amanar. The number 4.35 is for an amanar. You can see it during her run. Probably a TTY would be 4.36

[wchamp89]

That was VILE.

[xplosive08]

i think it was...cos doesnt look like overrotated amanar....

[vasa78]

I definitely prefer a clean double yourchenko than this amanar with horrible form.

[MsNoelle555]

i so agree.

[Darkangel127]

@vasa78 Generally speaking, yes, I'd prefer it too. But in Tanya's case, her DTY is just as sloppy. If she's gonna lose 1.0+ on build-in deductions, she might as well throw her biggest vault or even attempt a triple.

[ccaruso81]

@vasa78 me too. With this type of system, you can even fall on a vault during an Olympic EF and STILL medal...just venting....

[enpha87]

Oh my god! This girl is fantastic, all I can say is wow!

[juan120]

She is realy fantastic.

I love Her.

[gymfrombrazil]

Im not sure at all, but should worth 7.2 at least, once the difference betwen DTY(5.8) and Amanar(6.5) is 0.7......

[Jimena08]

Amazing vault, She is my favorite gymnast .

Future olympic champion

[backflipboy27]

yuck

[svetlana1993]

She said me before this comp. that she was going to quit after Japan! Soooo....She's cool , but she wants to go to her school last party! Nobody in Russia exept Anna Pavlova was even at their school last party!

[BoguinskayaZ]

that's amazing! she's only a junior.

[lucialap]

OMG the legs!!

But going for the triple twist is sooo difficult.

[produnov]

OMG ok she has not got a good form but that's a truly hard vault! How could Tamirjan get 14,5 on that DTY and an amanar like this score only 0,4 more?

[NastiaCarlyFan]

@produnov she had the slopiest form i ever seen

[gymfrombrazil]

The Vault Number is 435, wich is Amanar.

You can see that when she lands, her foot did complete the 2.5 twists, but her chest is very twisted. I Don´t think she had de triple twist in mind, but as the way she landed, was better to to half twist in floor than take several steps to the side.

But still Amanar though

[isa1285]

That was a weird amanar!

[vivelagym]

was she trying a triple twist?

[bernardoabdocarim]

Bad form...
