Namita Nayyar:
In December 2017 ‘The Derwael/Fenton’ was added to the Code of Points for the uneven bars by the International Gymnastics Federation. The element was first performed by Fenton and Belgian gymnast Nina Derwael at the 2017 World Championships in Montreal, QC, Canada. It’s a powerful technique that involves crossing hands as they catch and release the high bar while twisting in mid-air. Now the move is in the gymnastics code of points, so others can replicate it and be awarded points for it in their routines – It is a great “honor” bestowed on you. Tell us more about this?
Georgia-Mae Fenton:
So I first started working the skill in 2016 it took a long time to get it consistent and the connection out of it, we didn’t really realize that no one had done it before so it was super exciting and the first time I did it in a major competition. I wasn’t thinking about it potentially being named after me I just wanted to do a good routine. It really is ahonor to be in the code of points and have my own skill as that will stay in there forever.
Namita Nayyar:
