Contents

Junior career

She competed at the 2008 Junior European Gymnastics Championships, earning gold medals with the team, on balance beam and floor exercise. She earned a silver medal on vault and uneven bars. Although no all around championships were held, Tatiana held the highest all around score in the qualifying competition, ahead of team mate Aliya Mustafina.[2]

Senior career

Tatiana competed at the 2009 and 2010 Russian National Artistic Gymnastics Championships. In 2009 she competed in the all around, finishing in 3rd place.[3] In 2010 she competed only on vault and uneven bars as a result of injury, earning a bronze and a gold medal respectively.[4] At the 2010 Japan Cup, she introduced a toe-on laid out Tkatchev (Laid out Ray). She won gold for Teams at the 2010 world championships, despite falling twice on the Uneven Bars. At the 2010 worlds, she proved to be a very good gymnast, with unique skills, such as a toe-on laid out Tkatchev (which will receive her name - Nabieva), Two and a half twisting yurchenko (vault), Grigoras and Layout (beam), Arabian double front (floor exercise), but she also showed signs of inconsistency and nerves, as she had several falls on beam, floor exercise, and Uneven bars. She performed consistently at the World Championships 2011 in Tokyo, helping her team win the silveral medal by contributing on the uneven bars and on vault. Despite not performing her unique skills on the uneven bars, she qualified for the Event Finals and won the silver medal behind teammate Viktoria Komova.[5] She also placed 6th at Vault with a Double twisting Yurchenko and a Yurchenko half on pike half off.
