WHY wasn’t Kaylia Nemour at Worlds?

You probably saw her fantastic Bars routine from Arab Championships.

France wouldn’t let her compete for Algeria in Liverpool. Merde.

This is Nina / Sunny level talent.

But she should switch to Straddle Cast handstands to avoid some angle deductions.

Kaylia Nemour was born in Saint-Benoît-la-Forêt, France on 30 December 2006 to a French mother and an Algerian father. …

Nemour became age-eligible for senior competition in 2022. Although her personal doctor cleared her to resume training, the French national team doctor was unwilling to do so.

As a result, Nemour opted to pursue changing her nationality to represent Algeria.

In July the International Gymnastics Federation approved the nationality change; however, because the French Gymnastics Federation blocked the request, Nemour will not be able to represent Algeria in FIG-sanctioned competitions (such as World Championships or African Championships) until July 2023.
